West Fife Villages Art Exhibition
short-listed for award

The annual West Fife Villages Exhibition of Art, Photography and Crafts, now in its seventh year, has been short-listed for a prestigious award. The award up for grabs is the Epic Award 2011 for the best visual art project to be undertaken in Scotland during 2011.

The awards are an initiative of Voluntary Arts, the National Development Agency for arts participation. Voluntary Arts offers information, advice, training and development opportunities to those in the voluntary arts sector, from small local groups to large national organisations.

Six visual art projects across Scotland have been short-listed and details of these projects can be viewed on www.epicawards.co.uk. This website also offers an opportunity for the public to vote for the project of their choice.

John Crane, the Exhibition Manager for the last six years, said that he was delighted with the decision to short-list the West Fife exhibition.

He added that there are hundreds of folk who reside in the West Fife villages who have worked hard to make the project a success; not least the school teachers and pupils from the ten West Fife village primary schools who all participate in the exhibition.

John added that he hoped all those who had attended or participated in the exhibition over the years would cast a vote in our favour.

Next year's exhibition will be held over the weekend of 21st/22nd April
