Theme: Artist who wants to apply the workshop of 2014 must be familiar to Billboard Painting, as this year’s theme is BILLBOARD which in the literal sense means a painting that has a message that can be experienced, for example, when we are driving along the highway.
After recommendation to the arts committee during the Billboard Painting Festival, approx. 6-8 international artists will be invited to be part of the workshop, where the artists will paint new Billboard paintings in the open forum. Hereby the artists will experience a great cohesion during the creative process and at the same time the audience will be able to follow the making of the various billboards from start to finish.
