SUMMARY:Oil Painters of America 2025 National Exhibition & Annual Convention
DESCRIPTION:All Galleries \nOil Painters of America (OPA) is a non-for-profit organization representing more than 3\,500 artists throughout the United States\, Canada and Mexico. Founded in 1991\, OPA is dedicated to preserving and promoting excellence in representational art. Its primary focus is to draw attention to the lasting value of fine drawing\, color\, composition and the appreciation of light. The mission of OPA is to advance the cause of traditional\, representational fine art by providing a forum in which artists can display their art in regional and national competitions. In addition\, the organization is committed to providing educational opportunities to its members through its newsletter\, critique program\, scholarships\, workshops\, seminars\, and demonstrations by today’s masters. The 34th National Juried Exhibition showcases the best representational paintings produced across North America. With nearly 200 juried artists and many invited Master Signature artists\, it serves as a showcase for both up-and-coming talent and some of the most celebrated artists working today. The exhibition does not focus on a single style or theme but instead celebrates the diversity and art produced within the representational oil painting tradition. The exhibition’s opening is in conjunction with the OPA National Convention\, which features numerous lectures\, painting demonstrations\, and social events geared to artists and collectors. \nOpening Reception: Friday May 30\, 5:30 – 7:30
