The brilliant and popular Painting Padiham 2023 event returns on Saturday 13 May!
Artists will be able to compete for cash prizes by creating an original piece of art depicting Padiham and its people, over the course of one day in May.
This exciting event is open to artists, both professional and amateur, using any style or media (except photography). Participants will be asked to select a location within a 2km radius of Padiham Town Hall, including Gawthorpe Hall grounds, and can paint outside or inside (with permission).
Visitors to the event will be able to follow a trail to see artists at work and enjoy seeing original art created before their eyes. On the day artists will register at the Event Hub Padiham Town Hall with a blank canvas before moving out to their chosen location. Their completed work will be submitted at the end of the day and judged over the course of the following week. An exhibition of all event artists’ submitted work will be on display at the Picture House Gallery for 3 weeks commencing on Saturday 20th May 2023. The prize winners will be announced at the Launch of the Exhibition event on Saturday 20th May 2023 and will include cash prizes. Visitors will have the opportunity to purchase the original artwork during the exhibition.
