Street Art Competition

You may have seen details of the Street Art Competition in today's West Somerset Free Press. We wanted to offer something for locals to do, whilst we are hopefully inundated with Steam railway enthusiasts, so we are running a competition for teams of up to 4 people to try their hand at Street Art.

It will take place at Bellamy's Corner on the 1st to 3rd of October, and is open to anybody who would like to try their hands - we already have one team of 'seniors' signed up!!

We are going to erect a 'street' of house facades, giving teams 8 x 8 feet to play with. The theme is going to be Steam - obviously. It's up to you to make of that what you will - a natural shot of a steam engine, a Banksy type image - or some crazy, abstract art.  Your own imagination is your limit. Judging is by visitors, who can purchase tokens to post for their favourite images. The money we make on judging will go to charity.

Each facade is being sponsored by a local business, who have kindly helped to pay for the 'village'.  It's going to be a fun weekend.  If you want to get involved and help us out, we have a meeting scheduled for next Monday at 7pm at the Wyndham Arms.


We have also ordered some t-shirts to go with each event - the Steam's Up Photo competition in West Somerset House, and the Street Art Competition. They will be available in Gliddons very shortly -and they look great!!

If you want to take part, pick your team, give it a name - don't hang about - and book your facade!
