Artist and judge Jacquie Myrtle’s comments:
“Having judged this years Art for All competition, I now realise how difficult a job it is.
I was very impressed with the standard of work. Anyone who paints knows how hard it is to put your work in front of others, every person viewing will have their own opinion as to what they like.
When choosing the winners, I went for paintings that caught some aspect of ‘Freedom’ for me and that I felt had a good use of paint to create the story they were telling.
I would like to congratulate everyone who entered for a wonderful display of work that will be enjoyed by everyone who sees it this summer.”

The Ucheldre Centre in Holyhead on the Isle of Anglesey is one of the leading arts centres in the country. The diverse programming weaves together two major strands: performers and artists of international standing bring high-quality arts to Anglesey, and community events nurture the creativity of local people.
The 200-seat performance space is home to concerts, drama, film, literary events.
The main art exhibitions typically change every six weeks, bringing a constant succession of new and interesting work to Anglesey.
There’s also the Ucheldre Kitchen restaurant, shop and garden. The Centre is an important part of the cultural life of Holyhead, but is also often used by people visiting nearby Snowdonia, travelling on by ferry to or from Ireland, and is easily reached along the A55 from the whole of North Wales.
