Breeze

Breeze Art Gallery in Peebles are inviting children from Primary 1 to senior students at Peebles High School to take part in an exhibition they are running in conjunction with The Peebles Arts Festival and The Exhibition Trail.

Breeze are asking the children what living in the Borders means to them or what does the Beltane mean to them and asking them to tell their story in a painting or drawing.

This is an exciting opportunity to encourage the arts in our children and also to encourage our children to express themselves in different ways.

Please let the gallery know if you would like your child to participate. All entrants must be on an A4 sheet of paper with the child’s` name, school and class printed clearly on the back, and the closing date for accepting the entries in the gallery is Friday 2nd July 2010.

Winners will be announced and entries will be displayed in the gallery on Saturday 18th August and there will be a window dedicated to the children’s work during the week of the Peebles Arts Festival and the Exhibition Trail.

We will split the entrants into appropriate age categories. For winners in the older groups, a master class will be arranged with a top UK artist.

Younger category winners will receive a fabulous painting kit courtesy of Breeze.

And who knows, maybe one of these talented youngsters will go on to to create such wonderful, original art work as that of Alexander Millar, Bob Dylan, Rolf Harris or Fabian Perez
