local artist, Mary Deaville, has launched an art competition as part of a celebration of Ross-on-Wye Baptist Church’s 200th anniversary.

The Church is due to begin celebrations during the weekend of October 13th - 15th, and festivities will last until 2019.

Mary is encouraging local artists to create a piece of 2D artwork of Ross Baptist Church. This could be a drawing or a painting, in any medium, of the building, a window, or any aspect of the church that they find beautiful.

All entries will be exhibited inside the church during the celebrations in October 2017, so Mary is asking that they are “ready to hang,” which means they must be mounted, framed and with two eyelets on the back.

The competition is open until September 30th. Entries can be delivered to Mary Deaville at her artist studio in The Venue, Hill Street, Ross.

You can also contact Mary by emailing her at [email protected] if you would like to arrange a time to drop off your entry, or if you have any further questions about the competition.
