The City of Grande Prairie is searching for 10 local artists to showcase their talent during live art demonstrations this Heritage Day. 

The event takes place from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Aug. 3 in Muskoseepi Park. 

Artists will be able to exhibit their artistic ability to the public during the event and have their finished work displayed in the Ernie Radbourne Pavilion year-round for the public to view. Each artist will be supplied with acrylic paint and a canvas. 

During the event, artists will be asked to create works based on their preference of one of the following themes chosen by the community: 

  • Grande Prairie through the ages 
  • Historical buildings in the region 
  • The meaning of Muskoseepi 

All artists will receive a $100 remuneration. 

To register, interested individuals can email programming@cityofgp.com by Monday, July 27 with their theme selection and pictures of two original art pieces. Limited spots available; all applicants will be reviewed and selected by a panel.
