Opus Art Supplies invites British Columbians of all ages, artistic ability and discipline to take part in their free 5th Annual Outdoor Painting Challenge this Sunday, May 15th, from 10am-3pm (with official judging and prize giveaway taking place from 5pm-6pm).
With six locations throughout BC (and four in the Lower Mainland including North Vancouver, Langley, Granville Island and Downtown Vancouver), it is the perfect excuse to enjoy the outdoors while showcasing existing or budding artistic talents amongst old and new friends.
Everyone is encouraged to pre-register in-store or by phone at the Opus they'd like to participate at. When they sign in on the May 15, artists will be given a free 8”x10” canvas to create their piece of art depicting a part of their community in spring. The artwork will be displayed on site, with all exhibitors entered for a chance to win prizes ranging from artist materials to Opus Gift Cards and totaling $27,000 event-wide.
