Artists will descend on Ladner Village Sunday for the first Grand Prix of Art - Delta.
The event has reached its limit of 100 artists, notes Mary Ann Burrows, Artists in the Village president/founder.
The plein air painting race is presented by the Travellingbrush.com and hosted by Artists in the Village and the Corporation of Delta.
The community is buzzing with excitement for the event, Burrows says.
Artists will be painting from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at various locations around Ladner Village. Their finished art will be on display at the Ladner Community Centre from 3 to 6 p.m. Artists will be competing for $5,000 in prize money, Burrows notes.
Their work will be judged on basically three criteria areas: capturing the spirit of the location, the creativity of the artwork and the technical handling of the medium they choose to work in.
Finalists will also have their work on display at municipal hall for a week.
Artists looking to be added to a waiting list can email [email protected].
