In partnership with CultureSource, Art As Healing Foundation is participating in CulturePop to activate downtown Detroit with cultural activities. Come join in the fun at Capitol Park in Downtown Detroit for an urban style plein air paint-out. Like the Parisians do, paint or draw the urban landscape on site. Detroit has often been referred to as "the Paris of the New World" so let's bring that spirit alive!
$1,800 in prizes!
How to participate:
REGISTER It is free to participate. We are keeping the number of artists limited to 40 official participants so that the scoring is manageable. Artist registration is through EventBrite, use the "Artist Registration" button above to link to the the EventBrite registration.
BRING YOUR MATERIALS & SIGN IN AT 11AM Check-in time is at 11am June 12th, 2021 at the tent in Capitol Park {rain date tbd}. Look for the tent & the sign. You must bring all your own materials, paper, canvas, easel, paints, pencils, chair, etc., everything you need to do your work. We will stamp and label the back of your surface. In order to be included in the scoring, you must have the stamp and label on the back of your piece {label must be filled out}. This is to ensure that the work being scored has actually been completed on-site that same day. Work must reflect the immediate area in Detroit, Capitol Park, and the few blocks within that area. If you work quickly, you may have a second surface stamped after completing and returning the first work to the tent.
BRING YOUR FINISHED WORK BACK TO THE TENT BY 3PM Work must arrive no later than 3pm to be included in the scoring. You can also bring them earlier, whenever you finish. We will be laying them out on the tables for the scoring. This will, hopefully, only take an hour. We encourage you to explore the beautiful downtown area while you wait. We will announce winners at 4pm, or a little later if scoring is delayed. First place $1,000, Second Place $500, Third Place $300.
RETURN TO THE TENT BY 4PM FOR AWARD ANNOUNCEMENTS Winners will be announced at 4pm, or a little later, back at the tent.
LOCATION Capitol Park, 1201 Griswold St., Detroit, MI
