The 18th annual Paint Historic Waxahachie Plein Air Paint Out is now accepting artist entries, with the deadline extended to November 1. This highly anticipated event offers over $8,000 in cash prizes, merchandise and art supplies to winners.
Artists interested in participating can register online at www.onlinejuriedshows.com. Early registrants can join a pre-painting period from Oct. 4 – Nov. 6, which includes painting locations throughout Ellis County. The official Paint Historic Waxahachie event will take place from Nov. 7 – 13.
Last year’s event featured over 200 paintings by artists from as far away as the Netherlands, highlighting the wide appeal and prestige of the competition. This year, 30 artists have already registered and no more than 60 will be accepted.
Each artist may submit up to five paintings, all of which must be available for purchase. The artworks will be exhibited for public viewing on Nov.15 and 16, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Women’s Building in Waxahachie.
This event continues to celebrate the rich history and vibrant art community of Waxahachie, inviting artists from near and far to capture its unique charm on canvas.
