The Rutland Open Art Exhibition has the largest number of entries since before the pandemic this year, well over 120.
From paintings to photography, ceramics to sculpture, the month long exhibition opens today at the Rutland County Museum and is organised by Arts for Rutland. Uppingham Gallery owner Peter Barker won the overall prize which had a top five and seven highly commended works. His oil painting of Water Newton was the favourite of the judges.
