Wisbech Gallery DRAW26 Awards

As DRAW26 is an Open Drawing Competition, we are delighted to be able to award cash prizes to recognise two artworks that the Judging Panel felt were exceptional. This proved to be difficult given the high standard of the works submitted again this year and the panel took some time to make their unanimous decisions on the winning artworks.

More information on the Judging Panel can be found here.
