The theme of the Artisans Centre Peterborough's Artistic Challenge 2024 was "Our Fragile Forest" with art submitted from across the community. The exhibition was open in the atrium of Peterborough Square, during June's city-wide First Friday Peterborough Art Crawl. "Best of Show" was selected by the jury, and the People's Choice winner was announced at the end of the evening. The level of detail, insight and creativity in this years' submissions was truly astounding~! Thank you so much to the organizers and participating artists for a successful exhibition.
