Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge

Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge

Opus Art Supplies offers Canada’s largest painting event:
The 7th annual Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge

Artists of all ages, skill levels and mediums are invited to participate in Opus Art Supplies’ 7th annual Outdoor Painting Challenge, taking place on Sunday, May 6, featuring thousands of dollars in art supply material draw prizes!

Last year, this province-wide event saw over 1300 people creating and exhibiting their artwork across seven #OpusOPC locations throughout British Columbia (Downtown Vancouver, Granville Island, North Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Langley, and Coquitlam), all at the same time on the same day.

For all people, from those just beginning to explore their creativity to seasoned plein air artists, this challenge is an exciting and enjoyable way to share enthusiasm for the arts, create in the outdoors, meet new people, and win great prizes. Participants are invited to work in any medium they wish, using acrylics or oils, watercolour, pencil, collage, or all of the above.

Registration is free and available online and in-store. Participants who display their artwork in the exhibition, and are in attendance, will have a chance to win draw prizes at each location.

Let’s get this whole province painting!
