Hugh Lane Gallery Art Competition 2022: What I Love about the Great Outdoors!

Junior artists get creative! We invite classes from junior infants to 2^nd class to enter the Hugh Lane Gallery’s children’s art competition. The theme is ‘What I love about the great outdoors!’ Maybe you love playing outside, bringing your pet for a walk, going to a park, cycling your bike or love looking at trees, nature or clouds in the sky? Maybe you are inspired by the streets and buildings around you? Or the colours, sounds and patterns of nature? We would love to see an original painting by you on this theme!

• A shortlist of selected artworks will be shown at the Hugh Lane Gallery.

How to enter:

• Make an original painting on A3 paper inspired by the theme ‘What I love about the great outdoors!’
