Leisure Painter and The Artist, in association with Patchings Art Centre and Jackson's Art Supplies, are proud to launch our Art Club of the Year Competition 2016

All UK art clubs are invited to submit a total of five two-dimensional works that you feel represent your club along with a written profile, including details about your club's history, members and activites.

We will select our top ten clubs to exhibit their five entries at the Patchings Art, Craft and Photography Festival from June 9 to 12, 2016. An overall club winner and two runners up will be selected by well-known artist and tutor, Hazel Soan, over the weekend of the festival, and visitors will be asked to vote for their favourite club for the People's Choice Award. The winning clubs will each receive prizes from Jackson's Art Supplies. All work entered will be featured here at PaintersOnline.

The Prizes

First Prize: £500 worth of Jackson's art materials vouchers, a sponsored demonstration at the selected club venue by a professional art tutor and a profile about the club featured in our magazines, website and through our social media channels.

Two Runners Up: £250 worth of Jackson's art materials vouchers for each club

People's Choice Award: £100 worth of Jackson's art material vouchers for the club with the most public votes
