Our inaugural Parkway Artists' Guild (PAG) BON (Birds On Niagara) Paint Battle is an exciting competition for live artists to paint birds and celebrate the Birds on Niagara Festival. Each event features 20 incredible artists who will go head-to-head in three rounds of live painting with the winners determined by audience vote. Plus, seize the opportunity to own a unique piece of art through our silent auction of all original works!
As a warming station for BON participants, attendees have the opportunity to vote, participate, and
even purchase original art and products from local artisans and vendors. Audience members can vote, bid and follow their favourite artists at this event by placing your vote card for each round [one vote per round and per division (adult and teen)]. Voting cards will be provided upon entry to the event. This is a free event for all to attend.
Works created at this event will be silent auctioned with 50% of the proceeds going to the
artists. Your local organizer will let you know the expected timeline and method of payment
at the event. Unsold artwork from Sunday's event, will be available for purchase at the
Niagara Glen on Monday, February 17th , with the same sales agreement of 50% to the artist.
