NOA: The National Open Art Competition, 21 October- 1 November

In the beginning of 2015 LoVArts begun collaboration with the NOA’ team and became the Ambassador who helped spreading the word about the competition. Therefor, it was a great pleasure to join the opening of the NOA’s exhibition on 21st October at the Royal College of Art.
This amazing event begun with a speech by BBC art critic Will Gompertz who has shown once again not only his sophisticated knowledge about art, but also a great sense of humour. His speech was followed by NOA’s Partron, Ronnie Wood. Shortly after, the most exciting part took place: the Awards announcement!
