Association Saint B'Art Sponsors 2006 Art Contest
Once again, the association Saint B'Art is sponsoring a contest of paintings. This year's theme is the landscape or faces of St. Barts using the media of your choice. The paintings will be displayed on the quay December 8 and 9, and a jury of 10 will choose the first, second, and third prize winners. The painting that wins first place will be printed on 10,000 pre-stamped envelopes, and the artist will be awarded 1000 €. The second-prize winner will receive 600 €, with 400 € going to the artist who captures third prize. The paintings will be displayed at Porte 34 (previously Baghdad Gallery) from December 29 through Janaury 5, 2007. The exposition will conclude on January 4, 2007 with an auction of the artwork. If you're planning to be on the island during this time, it's a great opportunity to purchase paintings by local artists.
