We were delighted to crown the winner of the 2025 Epic Art Challenge in a prizegiving ceremony on Saturday 2 Aug.
Our yearly art competition invites locals from across the Forth Valley to create an artwork responding to that year’s specific theme. The shortlisted submissions are displayed at Macrobert throughout the summer, and the public are invited to visit the exhibition and vote for their favourite piece. The theme for 2025 was The Taste of Culture, which challenged artists to consider how food plays a role in their community, culture and identity.
In a prizegiving ceremony in our Arthouse, local girl Rebecca won the Gold prize for her piece ‘Life’s A Picnic’. The drawing shows a range of food from various countries and cultures around the world, all together in a picnic basket.
Rebecca commented:
"It's the first time I've entered, I really enjoy art so thought I'd give it a go. I never expected to get a prize, never mind Gold!"
