Emerging and professional artists can win prizes during the city of Coquitlam's signature Kaleidoscope festival this month.
As part of the Coquitlam 125 bash, the municipality is inviting up to 20 artists to be part of the Plein Air contest to complete a painting within three hours at the festival site: Town Centre Park.
The finished artwork will be judged and offered for sale during the two-day event; awards will be handed out at the end of the first day, July 23, with the People's Choice prize to be presented at the end of the festival on July 24.
The deadline to register is July 19. Visit the Sign Me Up page at coquitlam.ca and enter the barcode 5766500 for the Kaleidoscope Plein Air Competition and Exhibition program. Entry is $10.
Participants will bring their own materials such as canvas, paint, water, brushes, easels, chairs and sun or shade umbrellas plus framing and wires for hanging.
