And the winners are:
On Wednesday 30 November, our Oexmann Art Competition judges came to the Museum to make some very difficult decisions. After much deliberation, we are pleased to announce this year’s Oexmann Art Award Winners!
Congratulations to all who have won prizes or have been highly commended for their artwork. The judges have also chosen nearly 60 other adult entries to be featured in the exhibition, alongside all of the art entered by young people.
The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday 17 December (to 18 February 2023), with the prize giving taking place on Saturday 14 January 2023. Everyone who entered has received an invitation and complimentary ticket.
Thank you to everyone who entered, it’s wonderful to see how much Wiltshire artists have to offer.
