Once you have sent us an electronic version of your artwork, please place the original artwork in your window if possible, so that passersby can enjoy this year’s snowdrop season safely during the covid-19 restrictions.Your snowdrop art images along with your name and address should be emailed to gallery@shaftesburysnowdrops.org by 28/02/2021. When you are out shopping or for exercise do go past the Arts Centre Gallery where you’ll see some of the past years snowdrop artworks too. We hope the annual Shaftesbury Arts Centre ‘Snowdrops in Art Exhibition’ will be back in February 2022. If you’d like to enter next year please send an email to gallery@shaftesburyartscentre.org.ukGood luck to everyone and enjoy this opportunity to be creative during the current lockdown! ...
