Quick Draw Competition

Plein air painting is praised for its laissez-faire attitudes, its ode to nature, its leisure. But for Shadows-on-the-Teche Plein Air's second annual Quick Draw competition, artists will be racing against the clock. Artists and spectators will be immersed in the creative process as painters bring their canvases to life in only two hours. Prizes will be awarded, and all artwork will be available for sale still-wet and straight off the easel. This competition is open to artists of high school age and older. 9 am–11 am. Registration is required with a $10 entry fee. shadowsontheteche.org.
