CRAVENS INVITES NORTH EAST ARTISTS TO ENTER
‘THE PEOPLE SHOW'

CALL FOR ENTRIES

The People Show – the prestigious open art competition sponsored by creative communications agency, Cravens - is challenging professional and amateur artists throughout the North East region to ‘Make Someone a Work of Art' .

The competition, now in its 9 th year, has been designed to foster the region's creative talent and is open to artists based in the North East, who are invited to submit entries in any medium – from sculpture to ceramics, paint to print, film to photography, and everything else in between.

Themed ‘Make Someone a Work of Art', this year's People Show – in conjunction with the University Gallery at Northumbria University – encourages artists to explore how we might see people as art - be it as a watercolour, oil painting, sculpture, photograph or piece of film, the possibilities are endless.
