Sightsavers Junior Painter Awards exhibition

The finalist paintings of the Sightsavers Junior Painter Awards will be on show in Powerscourt Townhouse Gallery.

 

Over 5,000 children from all over the country were tasked with creating a painting inspired by the theme of I Would Love to See.

 

This year’s winner was Naoise Clarke-Carr and her painting along with the 14 other finalist pictures will be on display in the gallery from 28^th February until the 14^th March.

 

The competition aims to teach young children to appreciate the gift of sight and recognise the difficulties faced by millions of blind and visually impaired people in the developing world.
