Jan Lennon was invited by David Baker to present a prize on behalf of Colart at the weekend at our local Bewdley Arts Festival.

Several colleagues helped me to select our winning entry, “Behind The Curtain” pictured below with the extremely talented 14 year old, Nonin Stevenson receiving another of her prizes presented by artist Laura Smith.

The artists were given a few hours the previous week to complete their artwork.

Nonin’s frame was broken but she repaired it in a way which I feel enhances the entire story of the painting.

As a site, Kidderminster DC also took the opportunity to Inspire Every Artist by presenting a small gift pack to all of 13 artists to include paper, a few paints and brushes from our charity aisle to encourage the use of our products.
