Come on out to a live art competition, loosely inspired by the hit TV show Landscape Artist of the Year (UK) and its Canadian iteration!
The Event
Set on the lawns of the L.E. Shore Library, this is a competition with a twist:
Five featured artists each have four hours to complete a single painting, competing for the L.E. Shore Gallery Artist of the Year title. However, a sixth spot in the competition is still open and it will be filled live during the event!
That’s where our “wildcard” artists come in: they’ll compete in their own live paint-off, working within the same four-hour time limit, with one wildcard earning this final spot in the main competition and the chance to contend for the L.E. Shore Gallery Artist of the Year title.
This event is proudly hosted by the Arts & Culture Council for the L.E. Shore Gallery and is free to attend.
