College Celebrates Artists of the Future

We are celebrating the winners of the Skipton Rotary’s Young Artist Competition.

The annual Young Artist Competition gives budding young painters, illustrators, and artists the opportunity to showcase their creative flair with a wide audience. Participants have the chance to interpret the competition’s annual theme, this year “Happiness in Nature” and let their creativity flow to create wonderful pieces of their choice.

Competing in three age groups, Junior (up to 10 years), Intermediate (11 – 13 years) and Senior (14 – 17 years) entrants participate in Local Heats before winning entries moving to District Finals and finally the culmination of the season, the National Final.

Last week The Street in Ingleborough became the centre of celebrations as the exhibition of all the finalists’ work was displayed and we shared with our students their successes!

Level 2 Art & Design student Eliza Reeve-Rooke won a brilliant 1^st Place in the Senior’s category and will progress to the National Final, whilst Level 2 Art & Design student Diana Hlynska received a Highly Commended in the same category.

Meanwhile, Photography Lecturer Hannah Shackleton’s 3-year-old son Hamish won an amazing 1^st Place in the Junior category.

We are delighted to be hosting the exhibition of our students work alongside other young artists from schools around the region in Ingleborough until

Congratulations to all the very talented young artists!
