About Inspired by ...

Inspired by … is the V&A's annual art competition for people on part-time courses, and is supported by NIACE, the National Institute of Continuing Education. Participants create a work of art or craft inspired by the collections of either V&A South Kensington or the V&A Museum of Childhood. Entries are judged by a panel of curators/educators and the professional designer. The prize-winning entries and other selected works are displayed in the Museum.

Inspired by ... 2012 is on display in the Sackler Foyer and Room 220 until 21 April 2013. Between 29 January and 18 February the Sackler Foyer display will be temporarily closed due to building works.

We regret that the V&A Inspired by ... competition is being discontinued after the current display. Adult learners may like to apply for the Rootstein Hopkins Drawing Exhibition
