Let’s have a Blast Together!

Our second “Art Blast" will be held the evening of May 22nd at the Five Points Theatre.

Artists, look here for your invitation to paint live, to music, under lights. We're expecting a crowd of approximately 180 people. Enjoy three exciting rounds of painting, 20 minutes in the first two, where 16 artists compete in two groups of eight. Artists choose any subject to paint. All attendees are invited to vote by the end of each session. The top two artists from each round paint off in a final 30 minute Art Blast. That’s 10 extra minutes! Final voting determines the overall winners and runners up.

All finalists receive cash prizes and can sell their paintings by silent auction. Artists keep 50% of the auction proceeds. The balance goes to the Barrie Art Club. With your help, we can build on the success of the Barrie Art Club’s first Art Blast.

Tickets $34.50 | Students (Highschool - Uni) ID. $29.50
