About Us
In 2016 The Harpur Trust turned 450 years old and to celebrate, we launched an Art Competition for Bedford Borough Schools. We offered free workshops to state schools delivered by a team of visiting artists, and the competition resulted in a 2 month exhibition of children’s art work at The Higgins Bedford. The project was such a success that we now run the competition every other year.
