Grand Prix d'Art Painting Race
We are hosting our annual Grand Prix d'Art painting race on Saturday, July 28. This event will entice artists from around Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland out of their studios and onto the streets of Qualicum Beach to paint their visions of our beautiful community from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
For twenty-five years this event has attracted en plein air painters of all levels and mediums as well as hundreds of spectators. Each en plein air painter is assigned a location by lottery, and their work has to represent or be inspired by something or someone that is visible from the assigned location.
Visitors are encouraged to watch the process and the progress of the artists at the various locations, which are all within walking distance of The Old School House Arts Centre in downtown Qualicum Beach.
The painters must complete their work within the three-hour limit and have the paintings in display condition, titled and priced for sale at the arts centre no later than one hour after completion. Over $1,000 in cash and prizes will the presented at 3:30 PM.
