ART SLAM!

Contest

Teenagers have an opportunity to participate in the Teen Arts Fest Art Slam! The Art Slam! is a competition amongst young talented artists to showcase their skills in a timed painting competition.  Each young artist must bring your own canvas, it may be pre-sketched, or pre-grided.  All supplies to include acrylics, brushes, and palettes will be available to all participants. Also, feel free to bring an apron to not ruin your clothes.  

All participants please arrive no later than 11:30 to sign in.  Please check in at the lobby in front of the circulation desk, at the Teen Arts Fest booth. The Art Slam! will take place in the art gallery and spill over to the lobby around it. It will begin at 12:00 pm and all brushes must be off the canvas at 3:00 pm. Afterwards our judges will announce 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
