The Quick Paint competition is a 90-minute crowd-pleasing spectator sport that involves artists and visitors alike in the drama and pressure of painting rocks, water, and scenes of Artists Point amid constantly changing light and weather conditions. (Check out this 2013 award-winning documentary short, which continues to inspire appreciation of timed plein air competitions.) Sponsored Prizes

Open Class Best in ShowThe owner of Yellow Bird Fine Art will choose the Best in Show from the Open Class exhibit. The winner will be invited to be a Competition Artist the following year.
Quick Paint Open Class: Art On The RocksIt's a tradition: immediately after the Quick Paint, artists place their paintings on the rocks along East Bay and pose for photos. Open Class artists may compete in the Quick Paint for the Art On The Rocks prize. Artists and visitors vote to choose the winning painting, which is featured in JHP's center gallery display and included in the Competition Exhibit. Local business Joy & Co. will sponsor this prize with $25 cash and $25 in gifts.
