TALP Open Art Competition

What is TALP?

The Artist and Leisure Painter Open Art Competition (TALP), in partnership with Patchings Art Centre, has been offering artists of all abilities the chance to earn recognition and prizes for their artwork for more than 25 years.

Each year we invite submissions of two-dimensional works in any media (including drawings, paintings, printmaking and digital artwork) to two categories - amateur painters in the Leisure Painter category, and from more experienced and professional artists in The Artist category.

Why should I enter?

• 70 works in each category are selected by esteemed artist judges, David Curtis, Haidee-Jo Summers and Liz Wood and editors of The Artist and Leisure Painter, Sally Bulgin and Ingrid Lyon, for exhibition at Patchings Art Centre, opening on the first day of the Patchings Festival in Nottinghamshire, from 11 July to 11 August 2024

• The 70 exhibited works will also be featured on the Painters Online gallery,…
