Leigh Community Centre host their own Community Art Wall with regular art exhibitions from local artists and groups. The Community Art Wall is open to those who have sufficient pieces of work to fill the space. There is no charge but applications are subject to the Community Centre's Terms and Conditions.
Interested? Request an application pack from the Community Centre reception or e-mail us directly. Artists and groups with a connection to the Leigh-on-Sea area will be given priority.
The Artist in Residence and Art Wall initiatives are part of Leigh Town Council's commitment to promote the provision of accessible social, recreational, educational and cultural facilities within the town for the benefit of the community and visitors.
Find out more about our current exhibitions by visiting our Instagram page.
Back in April the Council launched its first Writing Competition. Open to everyone, the competition called for short stories or poems to be submitted about our town, Leigh-on-Sea.
A group of our councillors read through every submission and have chosen their winners!
5 - 7 yrs category - Teddy Giles
8 - 11 yrs category - Seren Smith and William Hutley
12 - 15 yrs category - Ryan Fey-Whitman
Over 18's - Sophia Faraway
These winners will all get their poems printed in Issue 12 of our magazine and when safe to do so they will be displayed on our Community Art Wall.
We have got a town full of wonderfully creative people, and we have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's entries. Well done everyone!

‘My Old Leigh Town’
by Sophia Faraway (Over 18)
A squawking seagull
A familiar breeze
A sky so clear
As beautiful as the seas
A coastal walk
Ice creams in the sun
Picnics in the park
A whole day of fun
A centre of creativity
That sparks the imagination
A daily retreat
A lifetime vacation
Community at heart
A feel-good town
Here I was born
And my heart is bound
