Art Week Mission
At Syke we believe it is important that we support the great pool of local talent, both established and emerging artists and crafts people of all kinds, by providing this platform for them.
Our Awards
We have The Tom Holland Peoples choice award, in memory of Mr. Tom Holland, who was a noted local artist. In its second year we ask everyone to nominate their favourite art work and the winner is awarded a plaque in recognition.
We also have A Watercolour Artist Award, in recognition of Mr Mike Bennion who passed away in 2024, who was himself a founder of the watercolour group who meet at Syke each Monday evening.
Our Team
Our team is comprised of passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We bring together a wealth of knowledge and skills to achieve our goals and make a positive impact in our community.
