Open to All with No Fee
Participation in Kids Paint OC is open to all skill levels, and there is no entry fee, fostering an inclusive environment where creativity knows no bounds. Participants can choose to use their own art supplies or opt for a convenient painting kit available at the OC Center for the Arts, ensuring that every child has the tools they need to bring their imagination to life on canvas.How the Event Works
The guidelines for the event are simple yet liberating: artworks must be created outdoors between July 1st and July 31st, adhering to a manageable size of 8x10 inches. The medium is left to the artist’s discretion, ranging from traditional paints to markers or pencils on paper or canvas. Frames are not required, allowing young artists the freedom to focus solely on their artistic expression.Win Cash Prizes
Excitement builds further with the promise of $500 in cash prizes to be awarded across different age categories (6-9, 10-12, 13-17), alongside a coveted People’s Choice Award. The culminating art show on Sunday, August 18th, 2024, promises to showcase the creativity and talent of all participants, transforming the OC Center for the Arts into a gallery of youthful inspiration.Parents Love Free!
In addition to the thrill of competition and recognition, each participant will receive a complimentary "Kids Paint OC" t-shirt, commemorating their involvement in this enriching artistic endeavor (while supplies last).About Katie Ruskey
