Looking for an art project 🎨 for the young (or young at heart)? If you or your kids are stuck at home due to the COVID-19 lock down and you fancy yourself as a bit of an artist, you might be able to help us out.

The ADN is looking for a new image to be featured in our next newsletter and as the cover picture of our Facebook page. We are looking for an image that represents hope against the COVID-19 pandemic. In these unprecedented times, it is important to stay hopeful and focus on the positives of life (e.g. your family, keeping people safe, working together, and etcetera).

Please see our ADN Photo Gallery for the images that have been submitted. Thank you to those who are participating in this Art Project on ‘Hope’.
