Christmas With The Impossimals

I have been invited to take part in a special children's charity Christmas Card Art Competition in conjunction with The Evergreen Art Cafe and Waitrose cumulating in a special Christmas prize giving appearance at the gallery on Saturday the 8th December, it one of three special Impossimal events as part of the Christmas With The Impossimals we have lined up over the coming months so keep an eye on the blog and website for further details. I'll now hand over the blog to the Evergreen Art Cafe to fill you in on the details...

We're looking for children to take their inspiration from Peter's famous striped, rotund characters called the 'Impossimals', which feature in all his paintings including his new Autumn Collection. Maybe they could paint an Impossimal Santa and his Impossimal Reindeers or how about an Impossimal Snowman?

This is a fantastic opportunity for kids to get involved in art and Peter's delightful characters will open your child's imagination to a world of creative fun. Peter will be choosing winners from each of the age categories (4-8 and 9-13) and local printer JR Press will print the Christmas cards for free.

The cards will be available to buy in the gallery from Monday 12th November and are also being promoted within Waitrose's Daventry store. All proceeds from the card sales will be donated to local children's charity, Pete Spencer's Helping Hands Memorial Fund.

The closing date for entries is 31st October so don't delay, get their painting pots out today and who knows, your child could be a budding Peter Smith in the making!

All competition entries should be posted in the special drop box in Waitrose (Daventry store). Don't forget to write your child's name, age and full contact details (including an email address) on the reverse of the painting. If you can't get into Daventry to hand in your child's entry, you can post it to us (address below) or email it to sales@evergreenartcafe.co.uk.

Peter Smith will be at Evergreen Art Café for an exhibition of his work on Saturday 8th December and will be presenting the winners with a signed and framed copy of their Impossimal masterpieces. As part of the exhibition, we will also display every competition entry, so your child still gets to see their work on the gallery walls even if they are not one of the lucky winners.
