The H-art Project is now accepting registrations to compete in this year’s HartPrize event for a chance to win $750. This year’s contest is a Plein Air Painting Competition where artists are invited to choose a scene to paint from a designated outdoor location downtown any time between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Oct. 5. An exhibit featuring the completed paintings, titled “Hart in Motion,” will be on display throughout the month of October where the public is encouraged to vote for their favorite in each category (beginner/intermediate and advanced/professional). Voting instructions will be available beginning Oct. 5, 2024, during Artwalk. The winning artist in each category will be announced Nov. 1 and awarded the $750 HartPrize.
“We are excited about this contest and can’t wait to see what scenes of our beautiful downtown are chosen to paint! We encourage people of all skill levels to enter and compete for significant cash prizes,” states Economic and Community Development Director Nichole Kleiner.
