The Bend Art Competition 2025 – My Neighbourhood

The Bend is pleased to announce the theme for the My Neighbourhood Art Comp 2025: 

Reuse, Recycle, Represent

Participants will use pre-used material, e.g. packaging, fabric, twigs and leaves to create an artwork that represents something about their life where they live. For example, they may choose to depict visiting the beach or park. They could represent local wildlife or vegetation, or they could represent the built environment, e.g. their local shops or restaurants. The artwork must be contained within a single picture frame (maximum size A4).
