The Arnold sports festival is held in Columbus every
year. The festival has
expanded into the world’s largest multi-sport fitness weekend since its 1989
beginning as The Arnold Classic as a one-day professional men’s bodybuilding
competition. It is an experience to say
the least!
This will be my third year to compete at the
Arnold. Didn't know I was that
physically fit, did you?? Well, I'm
not. But I am competing in the "Art
at the Arnold". The
3rd Annual Art at the Arnold competition during the Arnold Sports Festival will
again use this unique venue for artists to portray athletes and sports action
on March 2-4 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC). The 3-day event allows artists to compete and
entertain spectators by creating paintings from dozens of sports that range
from archery to weightlifting. Artists will create their work in the open
concourse between the GCCC and the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The exhibit will be
March 4 on the second floor of the GCCC. (that's straight from the promo!)
There are so many talented artist's that participate, many of
whom are my friends. It's three days of
intense work and long hours. And it can
be a lot of pressure. But it is a huge
amount of fun! I am looking forward to
finding a subject that inspires and hopefully create a piece I am proud to show
on Sunday.
If you get to the festival this weekend, drop by the concourse
and say hello! Wish me luck!
Hi Michelle. Nice to this see painting again. Will you post paintigs from the past two years? I haven't seen your blog in a while, but going sign up now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra! Last years is in here somewhere, but it's not worth re-posting. It was not my best work. My latest post has the new one, also not my best but a fun painting. I even missed Arnold this year!!
