ValleyCAST presents their 12th Annual Art Palette Contest

March 6, 2025

Join us Thursday, March 6, 2025 from 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM for the opening of the 12th Annual Art Palette Contest!

This FAVORITE community event features artists of all ages and abilities who have transformed ordinary wooden art palettes into unique works of art. They are displayed together on the gallery walls for all to enjoy! 

From the opening through April 4, 2025, gallery guests are invited to cast a vote for their favorite palettes. Winners will receive cash awards in three different categories and age groups. Winners will be announced on the ValleyCAST Facebook page and in our eNewsletter

The contest is hosted by ValleyCAST, the art and culture arm of Open Sky Community Services. ValleyCAST offers a wide variety of events for individuals of all abilities and reflects Open Sky's commitment to inclusivity. 

Regular gallery hours are Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm or by appointment. 

Registration begins on Monday, November 4, 2024 until all 100 submissions are registered! This is a VERY popular contest. Sorry, but we cannot hold palettes for any unregistered patrons. You must register and pay a $15 non-refundable submission fee when you pick up your palette at the gallery. To be fair, registration is first come, first served!  Thank you for your understanding. Sign up for our eNewsletter and be the first to know when submission forms and palettes become available on November 4, 2024. 

Voting Ends on Friday, April 4, 2024

Winners will be announced Wednesday, April 9, 2024
