Ah, so close. Art competitions are a way to get your work out there. In the open category, for artists aged 55+, I came second today at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. Always great to see one’s work in an established gallery.
Of course, these opportunities are a way to reach out to the community, with categories for beginners, hobbyists, and the open category for those of us who have exhibited professionally before. For artists who toil alone in their studio day after day, it’s about getting one’s work out there and making connections.
If you would like to see this painting in person, it will be on display at the RMG in Oshawa until September 25, 2025. While you are there, check out the early postcard exhibit upstairs — it is very funny and shows how much our language has evolved.
