Free admission. No need to book.

To coincide with our current exhibition programme, we invited young people from Devon and Cornwall to send us their best drawings. We were thrilled to receive over 550 entries across three categories; Primary, Secondary and Young People (18-25).

The difficult task of judging fell to artists Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings and our Contemporary Art Curator who selected a worthy winner from each category.

See the winning drawings plus a selection of the other great entries we received on display on our first floor throughout the spring. Congratulations to our three winners and huge thanks to all the talented young people who took part.
