"Polish Pallet" New Art Competition
and Residency!
LarkGallery Online has an opportunity to sponsor two artists to attend a residency in Poland. Artists from different countries will join this two-week program to paint the beautiful and vast Polish landscape, still live and portraits, to exchange ideas and learn from each other the secrets of art.
This residency program will take place in Oswiecim in southern Poland near Cracow, August 1-13, 2012 and the right to participate in it will be awarded to two winners of our new competition "Polish Pallet”.
The organizers will provide accommodations, art materials and meals for participants. The artist will pay for the cost of traveling to and from residency. After the completion of the residency, a one-day art show will be held featuring artworks of “Polish Pallet” program participants. Two paintings of each artist created during the residency will become property of the organizers and be sold later to support future residencies. (Any other art created during the residency will remain the property of the artists.)
Submission Guidelines: The organizers of “Polish Pallet”, who will choose the winners, are looking for painters who pursue realistic and/or figurative painting styles. The entry deadline: March 1 , 2012 . To submit click here
