A seven-year-old girl has won a national competition for her artwork which was inspired by LS Lowry.<\/p>\n
Mia, of Salford, was picked as the winner from 600 entries to the 2026 Copley Prize, an annual art competition run by the Lowry theatre and gallery.<\/p>\n
Her artwork, titled A Man Going To Work, is now hanging in the Andrew Law Galleries, alongside the famous paintings by Lowry himself, and will remain on display for the next 12 months.<\/p>\n
Mia said: “I feel so happy that my work will be in a real art gallery.”<\/p>\n
Every year primary school-aged children from across the UK are invited to submit artwork inspired by LS Lowry to Lowry’s Copley Prize. <\/p>\n
Mia’s work was chosen as this year’s overall winner by Alison and Noel Copley who are huge admirers of LS Lowry’s work and long-standing supporters of the Lowry’s programmes for children and young people. <\/p>\n
They founded the art competition in 2013 as a way to encourage primary-aged children to develop their creativity and artistic ability.<\/p>\n
Alison Copley said: “LS Lowry’s work is evident as the inspiration behind Mia’s superb artwork – a man going about his daily life, but with such character and detail that we see this ordinary person with a fresh perspective.<\/p>\n
“Mia is a very talented artist and we hope she and the other wonderful entrants of this year’s Copley Prize keep on making and creating art.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A seven-year-old girl has won a national competition for her artwork which was inspired by LS Lowry.
