THE work of talented young artists from St Helens could go on display alongside that of celebrated masters at Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery.

Winners of the dot-art Schools’ art competition will have their work displayed as part of the gallery’s world-famous collection from May 17 to June 8 2014.

Entries for dot-art Schools’ second annual inter-school art competition open to primary and secondary schools across the region close on Friday, December 20.

Lucy Byrne, MD of dot-art Services, said: “We are so delighted to be working with the Walker Art Gallery. It's an incredible opportunity for young artists to have a platform to show off their talents, and where better than the walls of Liverpool's most prestigious art gallery?”
