"Paint Bethesda"

Attention Artists! "Paint Bethesda" is a new and exciting opportunity that will feature outdoor paintings of downtown Bethesda’s buildings, icons, scenes and landmarks! Capture an iconic image of Bethesda – whether it’s Tastee Diner, the Capital Crescent Trail, Bethesda Lane or another favorite spot in downtown Bethesda – and submit it for the chance to exhibit your work at The Writer’s Center this December! Up to $4,500 will be given to the top prize-winning artists. Come to downtown Bethesda and paint plein air or paint a Bethesda icon in studio. All residents of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. (including high school artists) are encouraged to enter this painting competition. The deadline to apply is Friday, October 9. For more information, visit www.bethesda.org.
