Entries for the next photographic competition – “Landscapes” should be put in an envelope and delivered to Swanson’s by 5pm on September 24th and will be on exhibition between the 26th September and the 15th October. Entry fee will be £1 per photograph which will be shared between a prize and the centres costs. All photos should be unmounted A4 prints in colour or Black & White with the title, name, telephone number and email address on the back.

An exhibition of artwork, also inspired by landscape, will run concurrently and artists are invited to apply to exhibit their paintings, mosaics, jewellery, framed photographs or sculpture by emailing images to info@teignmoutharts.org.uk or sending photographs to the gallery.
