The Scottish Fisheries Museum invites all children in Fife aged 3 - 14 to take part in its annual Art Competition!
The theme of this year’s competition is 100 Species in the Firth of Forth, which is inspired by our temporary exhibition 100 Species opening on 29th March. This years competition is sponsored by Lomond Art: Art Supplies and Gallery in Cuper and Edinburgh Shoreline.
The exhibition explores the ecosystem and biodiversity of the Forth through artwork created by local individuals and community groups. It focuses on the importance of seagrass and oysters in restoring this fragile ecosystem.
The Firth of Forth is teeming with life. From tiny microscopic bacteria to majestic whales, life thrives on our coast and beneath the waves. The 100 species exhibition celebrates the ecosystem and biodiversity of the Firth of Forth through artwork created by locals and community groups who live around the Forth. Locals learned about the species and then created beautiful, impactful interpretations of those animals in different art mediums. These artworks are on display in the Scottish Fisheries Museum until 10th June 2024.
In this year’s Art Competition, pupils are invited to explore the 100 species that visit the Forth and those that call it home and create artworks inspired by these diverse animals that rely on each other to survive.
