Congratulating the proud Winners of the SVP Annual Art Competition!
The second annual Vincentian Art Competition adopted the Society’s theme for the year: Seeing Christ in our midst. The response was incredible. In total we received 248 individual pieces of art from all over England & Wales, from as young as 4 years old to over 60 years. There were no limitations on medium, and the artists took this freedom on board, as they allowed their creativity to express their interpretation of the theme. From pencil, to pastel, from stencil to sculpture, the assortment of imagination was spiritual and inspiring.
The SVP is happy to announce the winning entries as also the 'highly commended' pieces of work.
