Art on the Island Gala

The annual Art on the Island Contest & Gala returns this year on Thursday, September 3 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm! Come enjoy the beauty of Windmill Island Gardens through inspired artwork created by local artists in three categories of Plein Air, Canvas & Paper Works, and Mixed Media & Dimensional Works, and if you see a piece you love, all the artwork will be for sale! All artwork will be evaluated and awarded prizes by our judge, but we invite you to attend and vote for your favorite piece in a People’s Choice vote, too! Admission to this event is FREE so come visit us to enjoy amazing artwork, beautiful scenery, a cash bar with locally made beer and wine, and appetizers from local caterers!
Interested in being an artist? Each artist can submit up to 3 pieces for the contest with all entries due to our front office no later than Friday, August 28. Find more information here: https://shorturl.at/qCLDb
