PYA 2016

Art is  fun and every year we involve some 500 young people in local schools across Purbeck to be creative and develop works of art on a theme that runs across our festival. This year’s theme “Midsummer Dreams” has provided plenty of scope for imaginative ideas. 15 workshops have been delivered to Purbeck schools, led by a talented team of professional artist-educators. We are also delighted to welcome some several schools that have not been involved with the festival before.

Community Art

In 2016, The Swanage School, Swanage Primary School, St Mary’s Primary and Purbeck View School were all involved in workshops to produce swirling ceramic fish to join our 2015 Dinosaur Mural on Swanage Sea Front. It was all beautifully choreographed by Dawn Newlove and unveiled live on the local BBC News!

Competitions

Purbeck Young Artist Competition: work based on this year’s theme was exhibited at Rollington Barn (in the Byre) and there was a prize giving on the Thursday evening before the Festival began.

Postcard Competition: collect signatures from five different artists venues and win a £250 voucher for a piece of PAW art of your choice.

Brochure & Programme Cover Competition: Exhibiting artists could submit artwork to be selected for the cover of the Brochure and the Programme.

Shop Window Competition: Local shops decorated their windows and the public voted to choose the best. The winner won free advertising space in the following year’s brochure and programme.
