For the third year running TAS Wessex Area has sponsored the first prize of £500 for the Bath Open Art Prize. We feel that it is important to support emerging artists as they start on their career. Having a first and second prize, highly commended awards and a peoples award, given at the end of the exhibition run, encourages artists to participate. As well as having their work judged and critiqued by professional artists, their work is hung in a contemporary Gallery - 44AD, in Bath for two weeks.
As Old as the Hills was a community art project rooted in environment and heritage, culminating in an immersive contemporary art exhibition plus events in the iconic Zig Zag building, Glastonbury for Somerset Art Weeks Festival (21 September - 6 October 2024).
‘The Old as the Hills project… enhanced the connection between people and the natural world through direct interaction and close observation of nature in many and varied forms.’ Damon Bridge, Senior Project Manager RSPB
