John Downton Awards 2023

On a cold December evening in Maidstone County Hall, Joanna (Year 12) won the 11-16 years Gold Award at the John Downton Awards.  The work was titled 'Blue mood,' for a painting she completed at the end of Year 11. If that wasn’t enough, Pip (Year 13) won the 16-18 yrs Gold Award, this work was titled 'Contemplation.' As some of you will be aware, this competition is the showpiece for some of the best student art work in the county. Once the exhibition has finished, a selection of the best work will go on show at the Turner Contemporary in January.
