Multiple students of the Salisbury Cathedral School won the honour of having their works displayed in the Vanner Gallery for a month after David Christie, director of the gallery, announced the winners of the school's summer art competition.

Seventy young artists rose to the challenge of painting mini masterpieces inspired by the unique styles of renowned artists Lucinda Coldrey and Liza Butterworth, both of whom are hosting a charity exhibition at the school this half term, from Monday, October 16 to Wednesday, October 18. The entries were divided into four categories – pre-prep, prep, upper prep, and former pupils. Winners were chosen in each category as well as an overall winner for the competition.

The winning entries can be seen by the public at the Vanner Gallery where they will be on display for a month from Tuesday, October 17.

The Vanner Gallery, in Salisbury, opened in September 2021, offering a programme of exhibitions featuring established and emerging artists. In February 2023, the gallery presented the first iteration of the Graduate Art Show to be held outside London.

Nick Hawker, acting head of Salisbury Cathedral School, said: "This exhibition not only celebrates the artistic talent of our students but also the school's commitment to nurturing their creative abilities. We are extremely grateful to Vanner Gallery for their support, which really inspired our pupils with the priceless opportunity to see their work on display in a professional gallery."
