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.
In 2020, Covid-19 forced us to come up with a new way of exhibiting and so we are delighted to present our virtual exhibition.

The Exhibition for 2020 is now closed.
We will be announcing the details of the 2022 competition in the Summer Term of 2021 when schools will have an opportunity to once again sign up for our visiting artists programme.
