Mike Parry Art Award Competition 2023

The Mike Parry Art Award Competition 2023, is now…..CLOSED. 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 ‘SOLIDARITY‘ and it is open to interpretation in what you perceive celebration to mean to you.
