Tour Art Competition 2021
See the shortlisted entries for our Tour Art Competition 2021.
The shortlisted artworks will be part of our digital online Tour Art Exhibition this autumn. The winner of the competition will be announced in October.
Forces of Nature: our theme for 2021
The theme for this year’s competition was ‘Forces of Nature’. We were looking for artworks that celebrate, represent and question our insoluble relationship to nature, either taking opera as the inspiration or interpreting the theme through ideas of cultivated gardens and celebrated landscape views or wild, complicated natural phenomena and threatened environments.
