This event is sure to interest art enthusiasts from all over the country and is the “biggest event we’ve done in a long time,” said Gary Blitsch, Art Director. More than 100 paintings, focusing on realism, will be available to view and purchase.
You are among the first to hear about this fine art experience. Plan now for Friday, Sept. 6 when awards will be handed out, and you will have a chance to mingle with artists from all over the western half of the U.S.
While most of the works shown will be part of the OPA competition, the exhibit will also feature ten to 15 signature pieces by OPA Masters, artists of who have achieved the highest acclaim and whose works are not part of the competition.
The opportunity to host this show has really excited the staff at SouthWind Art Gallery. We hope the excitement is catching! It’s great recognition for the community as arts town, and it certainly will be a can’t-miss opportunity for any art collector.
Oil Painters of America was founded in 1991 and its membership is at 3,400 artists. The OPA Western Regional is an annual art competition of artists who reside in the western half of the U.S., Mexico and most of the Canadian providences.
