NEW THIS YEAR! 

HYDE PARK PAINT OUT | Saturday Oct 5th | Dusk to Dawn

This is an opportunity for artists to paint the historic Hyde Park in Boise’s North End area.  Located on North 13th Street a few blocks north of Downtown Boise, the Hyde Park Historic District is well known for it’s popular eateries and specialty shops. The 1900’s architecture and night life in this area make it a popular destination for night time painting.

NOCTURNAL COMPETITION  

Artist have the entire week to create an original work at night. Early morning dawn, sunset, moonlight and street lamp make for interesting paintings.

The best way to do that is to explore nocturnes — paintings of twilight, dusk and night — and relish how magical stars over a snowy field or the warm glow of a fiery sunset against the deepest blue sky can be.  From “Toned Poems of Night” https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-subjects/nocturnes/
