Artists encouraged to pick up the paintbrush as Lancashire Artist of the Year 2024 begins

After the success of last year’s competition, the hunt is on for the county’s best artist!

The search to find and champion some of the best artists in the county has now begun, as Lancashire Artist of the Year 2024 launched this week. Lancashire County Council have tasked artists of all abilities to produce a piece of artwork depicting their favourite Lancashire view in spring, summer, autumn or winter. All entries must be painted as portrait paintings will not be accepted and the deadline for entries is Wednesday June 12.

'I eventually entered a springtime painting of the gateway to Lytham Hall and thought nothing more about it, so to get selected as a finalist was a real surprise. 'To then be awarded the title was quite astonishing and a real honour.” Preston artist Norman Long, Sarah Haworth from Lancashire Adult Learning and Alex O’Toole from Arts Lancashire return to the judging panel this year.
