Updated! The White Hart is already a place to see the ‘Off the Walls‘ art, some painted bollards, and on Father’s Day 2010, it was the place to create some art ‘On the Ground’!

Many local kids took up the challenge to create some art in the car park – who knew Whitchurch had so many Pavement Picassos?!

Members of Whitchurch Arts judged the drawings. Top prize of a Sunday Carvery for 4 went to Bella for her drawing. Everyone else was a winner, too – all took home fantastic 2nd place prizes, donated by Andy and Julie of the White Hart.

Congratulations!

The 1st place winner is…

‘Painted Santa’ by the Miller Family of Evingar Road.

Their entire front window was painted with a very festive scene. You will see more examples of their window painting around town if you visit the Charity Shop being run by the Scouts, and the loos on the Meadow.  Very creative work indeed!
