Poochibald - Community Choice


Vote for your favourite Art Work!



Our favourite show of the year is back! The exhibition runs from 29th Sept – 22nd October 11am – 5pm Wed – Sun. First the first time a new category - community choice! A category without a prize just for the personal satisfaction announced at the very end of the exhibition. Every year we hear people discuss their favourites as they walk around so this year you get to vote!

The Poochibald is an opportunity to show your appreciation and admiration for paintings of dogs. Whether they are big or small, scruffy or tidy, if they take you for a walk ’round the block rather than the other way around – we just can’t seem to stop loving them.

Now in its 11th year, our annual Poochibald exhibition is a beloved community show not to be missed and coincides with our Dog’s Day Out event.

Everyone in the community was invited to get involved by submitting a painting, drawing, print, or small sculpture and anyone can be in the running to win with both adult and junior sections and great prizes.

Be inspired by dogs of all kinds – celebrity dogs, childhood pals or that trusty chonk keeping your toes warm on the couch right now. What says I love you more than an award winning portrait? (…maybe some liver treats…) Go on then! What are you waiting for!? Come and see the entries and vote for your favorite and be inspired to enter in 2024 with your own creation!

The financial prize winners will be announced at the exhibition opening on Thursday 28th September at 5.30pm at the Schoolhouse Gallery.

The community choice vote will be open throughout the exhibition and announced at the very end and is for just for bragging rights with no official prize or prize money.

Please vote using the short survey below and we can't wait to see what you think.
