Paint Webster
May 11, 2024
The day starts with Check-in from 8-10 am at Webster Arts. Start here to get your canvas or paper stamped (on the back) before setting out to paint. Choose any location in Webster Groves, but note that there are several prizes that are location-based, such as the Crossroads Business District or Parks Awards. Check out our FAQ page to be sure your canvas and paper are ready to be framed and hung!
Artists should return paintings to Webster Arts between 12 and 2 pm to be considered for prizes (see a complete list of awards below). Artwork must be wired to hang, either utilizing a gallery-wrapped canvas with painted sides or submitted in a frame. Again, see our FAQ page to learn more!
