The Judy Townsend Award

The annual Belle Vue Arts Festival is the brainchild of Judy Townsend, a former teacher and Mayoress of Shrewsbury. In 2003, Judy, along with the help of friends and local artists, came together to create an inspiring week of arts events for the local community of Belle Vue.

 

Now, several years later the festival continues through the efforts of a small group of committed volunteers and a wide network of supporters.

The Belle Vue Arts Festival are keen to to encourage young people with an award.  This is aimed at either a young person or a group.
