The Cariboo Artists’ Guild (CAG) is inviting all children and youth to paint or draw a picture and enter their projects in an art competition.
All work will be judged by local CAG member artists and winning pictures will be on display during CAG's Summer Art Show at Parkside Art Gallery in 100 Mile House, July 25-Sept. 6.
The theme is to be “How I plan to spend my 2014 summer vacation.”
Pictures may be completed in pen, pencil, pencil crayon, charcoal, chalk pastels, watercolours, acrylics, or oils. Crayon is not permitted.
All pieces must be on either art paper or canvas and the maximum size is 12 by 16 inches.
They must be submitted without backing or hanging provisions, as they will be professionally prepared for hanging by CAG members.
All entries must include the artist’s name, age, phone number, and school on the back. Students from all local schools are eligible to compete.
Entries will be judged within the following four age categories: six to eight, nine to 11, 12 to 15, and 16 to 18.
Entries are to be delivered to gallery, 401 Cedar Ave., before July 15. Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Each age group will be awarded first, second, third and honourable mention ribbons. The first-place winner in each age category will also receive a prize.
CAG members will judge the entries between July 21 and July 27.
Students will need to visit us at the show to see if their entry won.
All entries submitted will be kept for two weeks only after the end of the art show, so
students may pick up their artwork during that timeframe.
CAG members are excited and looking forward to seeing all the fantastic young talent in this great community.
Good luck to all our young artists.
