WELCOME

Art in the County 2009 was a great success with some 2500 visitors to the show.

Preparations for Art in the County 2010 began in the fall of 2009. Now in its 17th year, the exhibition will run from June 18-July 4, daily from 10am-5pm in Picton's Old Town Hall above the Firehall at King and Ross Streets. Entry forms for the show will be available and posted on this website in March or April, 2010.

Each year, Art in the County displays the work of County artists and artisans. The exhibition is a highlight of the summer season in Prince Edward County, attracting residents from around the Quinte area and visitors from across Canada, many US states, Europe, Asia and Australia. All of the art displayed at Art in the County is carefully chosen by three distinguished and experienced art experts who are professionally qualified jurors. These jurors are solely responsible for the content of the show, for the five Jurors' Choice Awards and five Honourable Mentions. The People's Choice Award, determined by ballots completed by visitors to the art show, will be awarded at the end of Art in the County.
