Swayne Johnson Solicitors Host Local Art Competition

Posted on 05 Mar 2014

Here at Swayne Johnson Solicitors we are always keen to be involved with our local community. It is important to us and the philosophy of our company to help local organisations, charities and schools.

Promoting the arts within the North Wales community is one of our most important values and that is why we support several art organisations in the local region including Arts and Business Cymru and The Scala Cinema and Arts Centre in Prestatyn. We also feel it is important to encourage an interest in the arts among our local youth. That is why Swayne Johnson Solicitors were delighted to be recent hosts of a local school art competition at our Ruthin office.

Swayne Johnson Solicitors of Ruthin recently held an Art Competition in conjunction with Ysgol Brynhyfryd’s art department.  We welcomed a talented group of young art pupils and the competitors were asked to depict one of four famous legal cases. Years 10, 11, 12 & 13 art pupils were invited to compete for a framed piece of their own artwork and a £50 prize! It was a great opportunity to help in developing both an interest in art and legal history in local pupils and everyone had a fantastic time.

Both the Head of Art, Bernie Shields and Caryl Vaughan, Director in charge of the Ruthin office, were very pleased with the high standard of work across the board. But of course, there had there had to be winners. Luke Givelin, Helenya Apostolou, Morgan Ridgway and Tom Padmore all created wonderful pieces of art and came to collect their prizes in a ceremony held at Swayne Johnson Ruthin’s offices.

The artwork is now on display at the Swayne Johnson Ruthin office along with the case synopsis for those who wish to come and have a look.

Below are images of our proud competition winners and their art work.
