Painting On The Edge
Guest contribution by Federation of Canadian Artists
We wish to invite you to the Federation of Canadian Artists' 5th Annual Painting on the Edge opening reception and awards presentation on August 23, 2007. It is being at our Gallery on Granville Island at 1241 Cartwright Street, from 6:00pm - 8:00pm and is open to the general public.
Painting on the Edge is an international, juried painting competition sponsored by the Federation of Canadian Artists and Opus Framing & Art Supplies. The purpose of this exhibition is to present an interesting group of contemporary paintings by both emerging and professional artists that are not medium or subject specific. We encourage artists working in any painting, printmaking or drawing media to participate. Abstract, expressive, impressionist or realist styles are all welcome.
Successful entries combine an original subject or concept, feature excellent composition and skillful use of the chosen medium. They should capture the jury's interest and excite or move the viewer because they represent the artist's imagination, involvement and sincerity.
The Grand Prize is $2,500 and as in past years, Opus generously continues to support artists by providing three very unique awards - three $1,000 shopping sprees in paints & painting mediums, fine art framing and fine art papers and painting supports at any Opus store of the winner's choosing.
The exhibition is open from August 21 to September 30, 2007. We look forward to welcoming you to this great show.
