The PaintQuick™ Competition is a plein air painting competition exhibit that is open to anyone who wishes to participate. If you would like to paint in the PaintQuick™ follow the registration process below.

On-line registration is open.

Event check-in is at 7:45 a.m. in the Dellwood section of the Park located at 1775 S Ponce de Leon Ave NE.

The competition includes invited artists, professionals, enthusiasts, student artists and the simply adventurous who compete in this fun event. These artists paint on the spectacular grounds of Atlanta Olmsted Linear Park along Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Druid Hills neighborhoood and have two hours to complete their work. During this short time, all registered PaintQuick™ participants set up their easels and paint or draw en plein air. 

This is one of the most compelling exciting experiences of the week. Together, artists and spectators are immersed in the creative process. See the scenes and how the artists interpret them. Smell the wet paint and get caught up in the joy of watching 100's of paintings come to life before your eyes! 

After the PaintQuick™, an exhibit will be held in Deepdene Park, the most western segment. The paintings are judged by a panel of Judges and Awards will be presented at 12:30 pm. Paintings will be for sale.  Paintings will be removed at 2:00 p.m. Everything about PaintQuick™ is quick...so do not miss out!
