Paint the Parks 2009 - August 1 - September 7

Paint the Parks is America’s leading program designed to illustrate the beauty and significance of America’s national parks. Paintings entered must depict one of our nation’s 390 areas under the care of the National Park Service.

The competition is open to all artists. Entries are judged by a jury of nationally recognized artists and arts professionals, with winners in each of the three National Park Regions, plus a Grand Prize Purchase Award Winner. The winning paintings tour the nation for one year and are available for viewing online.

Fifty “mini” paintings (180 square inches or less in size) are selected to accompany the 100 full-size paintings on tour.

The annual Paint the Parks competition and tour are sponsored by the nonprofit PaintAmerica Association. A portion of proceeds from the sale of paintings is contributed to the National Park Foundation and the PaintAmerica Scholarship Fund.
