The Art of Buckler's Hard - 16 March - 3 November 2024
March 16, 2024
Explore The Art of Buckler’s Hard, a new exhibition showcasing art from the recent Sky Arts’ Landscape Artist of the Year semi-final, as well as paintings from the Montagu family collection.
This free exhibition is located in the Shipyard Office, opposite the Master Builder’s House and opens from 16 March to 3 November 2024.
Plus! We’re calling all artists, amateurs or professionals, to submit their very own creations of Buckler’s Hard to be on display within the exhibition.
Seven semi-finalists competed for the Sky Arts’ Landscape Artist of the Year title at Buckler’s Hard in July 2023. They were tasked with capturing the natural charm of Buckler’s Hard, as well as its rich maritime history.
See their original pieces on display as they take centre stage in this new exhibition. Some of them are even for sale!
