Mike Parry Art Award Competition is back for a third year!
We are delighted to announce the launch of the Mike Parry Art Award Competition 2021. Mike sadly passed away in January 2019. Mike was a keen artist who influenced many, whether it be picking up a paint brush for the first time or just enjoy art for what it is. In his memory, an art award competition was set up in 2019.
This year’s theme is ‘FREEDOM‘ and it is open to interpretation in what you perceive freedom to mean to you. If you have been involved with substance misuse services in Wales, past or present, then you are welcome to enter a piece in this year’s competition. We will accept all types of art, from paintings and drawings to sculpture and photography or poetry. Just check out the entry criteria, available below.
“Mike was my inspiration, what a man!” Dai (2020 entrant)
This year we will have three different categories: Young People (up to 18 years old); Adults; and Group, each of which will have their own separate winners. We hope to be able to hold an exhibition in the autumn, where all entries will be displayed. We will also hold a virtual exhibition, just as we did for the 2020 competition.
