Oil Painters of America Annual Juried Show

Artists, collectors, and art students: registration is open for the 16th Annual Juried National Art Exhibition of the Oil Painters of America.

This year, the event takes place in beautiful "hill country" Fredericksburg, Texas, about an hour's drive equidistant from exciting Austin or exotic San Antonio.

The national exhibition runs from May 11 – June 9, 2007. Opening weekend ceremonies and festivities take place May 10 – 13.

A complete schedule of events is here (html) and here (pdf).

Over a hundred oil painting entries already have been accepted. No paintings will be sold before May 12, but offers may be submitted in advance.

Whistle Pik Galleries is the host gallery in Fredericksburg. Other local institutions participating include the Admiral Nimitz History Museum and the internationally-oriented Fredericksburg Artist's School.

The art school is sponsoring a series of artist workshops May 7 through 14.
