2022 Grand Prize winner – “Second Generation” by Denise Antaya
Paint Ontario is the premier show and sale of representational art in Ontario, providing a unique opportunity for both emerging and established artists to showcase their work and an unmatched opportunity for buyers to view and acquire it. Both paintings and sculptures were available for viewing and purchase.

The show at the Lambton Heritage Museum was a live, in-person show – not a virtual event. Paint Ontario typically attracts nearly 3000 visitors annually.  

After viewing the indoor galleries, patrons were invited to wander into the adjoining buildings and grounds of the Lambton Heritage Museum to view a truly impressive host of accompanying artist demonstrations, pop-up events and outdoor installations which will inspire artists and art appreciators alike. There were also interactive, fun activities designed to interest and intrigue people of all ages, making Paint Ontario a great destination for families.

The show is organized by the Grand Bend Art Centre (GBAC), a charitable community group. “Our mission is to inspire creativity in the community” says GBAC Executive Director Teresa Marie Phillips. “Monies raised in sales commissions go straight back into cultural development within the community,” adds GBAC President Nette Pachlarz. A team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers takes the show through every stage of production, from conception to fruition.

Whether you are a regular Paint Ontario visitor or have never attended previously, Paint Ontario’s Art Show and Sale is an event you won’t want to miss.


The second annual plein air event – ‘Perch n’ Paint”- was a success, with quite a few new features based on great feedback from participants. This competition is open to anyone of all skill levels. There were excellent prizes to be won thanks to generous sponsors – and it was just plain fun! Click on the logo to the left to see more.

    If the ban on large groups is not lifted, would you consider posting the paintings
    online?

    Hi Heather, the paintings are online for viewing, but not purchase, if you go to the Paint Ontario website. We are still planning on having a physical show as soon as restrictions are lifted.
