Attention artists! Join us for a juried oil portrait painting competition hosted at Grand Central Academy in collaboration with Alex Katlan and From Life, Figurative Art Competitions. This one-day, on-site event invites artists from around the world to create works from life under a blind judging format. Painters will spend the day capturing the model’s likeness in oil, surrounded by the creative energy of fellow artists.

Three distinguished artists from the New York metropolitan art scene will serve as jurors; Rick Piloco, Colleen Barry and Jordan Sokol. Winners from the Summer 2025 competition invited to participate are Stephen Foster, David Baird & Patrick Okrasinski.

$3,500 in cash prizes! Limited to 48 artists.
