THE top entrants from this yearâs Ipswich Art Awards will soon showcase their outstanding talents to the Greater Ipswich community.
Ipswich City Council confirmed this week that both multiple pieces from the annual show are set to feature in a touring satellite exhibition.
Among the line-up will include pieces by Jason McNamara, who was named Best of the Show, along with other notable artists such as Zanskar Ianusi, Jean Giarola and Kirsty OâBrien.
Councillor Andrew Fechner said this yearâs awards proved to be bigger and better than ever, with the total nine winners announced at the exhibitionâs sold-out opening in May.

With the high street in lockdown, these unique, boutique-style labels have been breathing new life into our wardrobes – and dominating the way we shop
Clare Hornby started ME+EM in 2009, with the aim of providing busy women with a quality working wardrobe at an accessible price.
I began my career at Harrods where I was able to invest in luxury clothes thanks to my employee discount. However, when I moved into advertising that was no longer possible – I couldn’t afford them. It made me want to find a way for women to enjoy luxury fashion at an accessible price point.
