En Plain Air Event

Eastrop Park, RG21 4QE

Saturday 13 September

8am to 5pm

Ready to capture the magic of Eastrop Park in real-time? Dust off your brushes and pack your portable chairs! THAT Gallery is hosting the ultimate live canvas showdown!

 Whether you whip up masterpieces in oil, acrylic, watercolour, pastel, or mixed media, we want to see how you see the park. Grab one of our exclusive 25 spots, race the clock, and paint your heart out in the great outdoors.

Here is everything you need to know to get in on the action:
The Masterpiece Schedule
• 08:00 – 09:30 | Stamp & Setup: Meet at our park gazebo to
get your blank canvas stamped.
• 10:00 – 14:00 | The Painting Block: Four hours of pure,
open-air creative energy!
• 14:00 – 15:00 | The Reveal: Show off your wet canvas on
your own portable easel.
• 15:30 – 16:15 | Judging & Public Viewing: The tense wait
while the judges deliberate.
• 16:15 – 17:00 | Awards Ceremony: High-fives, closing
remarks, and crowning the champions!

What’s Up For Grabs?
• Cold, hard cash prizes for the top three paintings.
• A 1-month feature display at THAT Gallery for the overall
winning piece!

The Golden Rules
• Keep it fresh: Everything must be started and finished on-
site during the 4-hour block.
• Size matters: Keep your canvas under 24 inches (60cm) so it
fits our display space.
• Leave no trace: Pack out what you pack in. No washing
brushes in the park streams!
• Rain or shine: Unless there is an official Met Office severe
weather warning, the battle goes on! Bring an umbrella or
snag a spot under a tree if liquid sunshine hits.

Your Survival Checklist
Don't forget to pack your paints, brushes, easel, folding chair,
sunscreen, and your finest weather-appropriate gear.
Secure Your Spot Before They're Gone!
• Cost: £20 per artist.
• Availability: Strictly limited to 25 spaces!
