With over 30 exhibitors showing paintings, ceramics, photography, sculpture, jewellery and more, there should be something to interest everyone at the Fortingall Art Exhibition this year. However, the exhibition would not be complete without the exciting and much appreciated children’s Mini Art Competition.
The categories this year are:
5-7 years ‘The Picnic’, 8-10 years ‘Into the Deep’
11-13 years ‘Hero/Heroine’, 14 years + ‘Festival’
All entries will be exhibited and there are money prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each group.
The closing date is Friday 17 June. Prizegiving is Friday 29 July and the exhibition runs from Saturday 30 July until Sunday 7 August in the Molteno Hall, Fortingall.

Young Peoples’ Film Competition
Fortingall Art is running a new short three minute film competition this year. The theme is ‘Elemental’. The competition is aimed at young people from Perthshire who are still in full-time education and we hope it will generate some fresh new creative ideas and images.
The winner will receive a £250 prize and the best of the films will be shown during the Fortingall Art exhibition from 30 July - 7 August. The closing date for entries will be 30 June 2011.
For more information about the competition contact Sheena Stanbridge, East Lodge, Taymouth, Aberfeldy, PH15 2EY Tel: 01887 830254 or click on the exhibition page www.fortingallart.co.uk.
