Grand Impressionists
Painting Competition
A thrilling live painting event where artists re-create masterpieces from Glenhyrst Art Gallery of Brant's permanent collection. Working under time constraints, they capture the essence of original artworks while they imagine it with their unique flair. Spectators witness the transformation of blank canvases into stunning renditions, celebrating artistic talent, creativity, and the region's cultural heritage.
Art Installations
Each year, we invite artists to install and devise dynamic, site-specific art that engages with the festival's environment and transforms Glenhyrst Gardens into an open-air gallery and exhibit.
Immerse yourself in the creative process as these artists transform spaces into thought-provoking works of art, reflecting on their diverse perspectives and innovative approaches. Explore interactive displays, sculptures, and experimental art that encourage reflection and participation.
