Opening Night Gala
May 1, 2026
The festivities begin at 4 pm when the doors open. This is a FIRST-LOOK at the artwork. Your chance to buy the piece that speaks to you. You can also meet many of the artists who are excited to be displayed at Paint Ontario. After some fun mingling, at 7 pm, we celebrate all the artists and those who received awards for their work.
The show receives entries from almost 300 talented artists. Artists are drawn to this premier art show where the competition is fierce and prizes are incredible. With a Top Prize of $3000, it is an elite competition. This First Prize Award was generously donated by Paul Jennery Acura West, London, Peter Hakvoort and Coleson Freight.
