Lockdown Heroes
Our Lockdown Heroes project has been a huge success since its launch in November. Now our artist in residence, Kelly Culver, wants you to get involved in our next online exhibition by creating a portrait of your lockdown hero.
This could be someone who helped you through the tough times we’re in – whether that’s a family member, friend or key worker. You could even celebrate your own strengths! Why not take a look at work by Kehinde Wiley, Julian Opie, Joy Yamusangie or David Hockney for inspiration?
- All styles and mediums welcome
- Showcases the support given to families and communities during the pandemic
- Collection exhibited online from Thursday 29th April
- Deadline for submissions is Monday 26th April

How should I photograph my work?
- Your image isn’t blurry – it should be clear and in focus
- If the image is too dark people will struggle to see. Usually natural light is the best – photographing near a window in the daytime will help but try to avoid shadows. You can also edit the brightness on your image afterwards
- Only show what you need to and have nothing else in the frame – you may want to crop after uploading
- Photograph head on and not at an angle
