From St Helens Open Art:

The St.Helens Open Art Competition is proud to be part of this very successful 'Borough of Culture' year year at The World of Glass and delighted to have the continued support of the Rainford Trust and The Godfrey Pilkington Art Gallery who have supported and hosted the competition since 1995.

The competition was established by Sir Godfrey Pilkington to encourage, support and showcase the wide range of artistic talent within the Borough and wider community and this years current exhibition strives to continue that ambition and pay tribute to his legacy.

Exhibition continues until Saturday 27th January 2024.
