Head along to Sandwell museums this summer and vote for your favourite work by local artists in the All the Fun of the Fair competition.
Sandwell Museums & Arts Service has received lots of entries in the adult and under-16 categories – with artwork featuring clowns, circuses, fairground rides and everything in between.
Shortlisted pieces are being displayed throughout the summer at museums – Haden Hill House in Cradley Heath; Oak House and Manor House in West Bromwich; and Wednesbury Museum & Art Gallery.
Councillor Bob Lloyd, Sandwell Council’s cabinet member with responsibility for culture, said: “This is a great chance for people to see the pieces of artwork close up and vote for their favourite.
“Visitors can also enjoy exploring our fabulous museum sites at the same time and discover the stories behind these historic buildings.
“It’s the third year running we’ve run an arts trail competition, following on from the success of Bloomin’ Lovely and Sandwell’s Hidden Treasures.
“I would like to thank everyone who has entered this year’s competition.”
The winners from each museum site will go online – and on a tour of Sandwell – in September for people to vote for their overall winner, which will be announced at a special All the Fun of the Fair event at Manor House Museum in the autumn.
