A caper is afoot! 12 artists, 4 sitters, 2 hours!

Admission is free for PAC members and just $10 for non-members. But do plan to bring some cash to vote for challenges, rescue your favorite artist from nasty twists or throw a challenge someone's way. Be prepared for lots of laughs, oohs and aaahs!!

PORTRAIT ARTIST CAPER: SATURDAY, April 18th, 5:00 PM
from $0.00

A caper is afoot!

Artists have two hours to paint a portrait of a live sitter. Artists provide their own materials and can use their medium of choice. Guests may buy into “CHALLENGES” to make it harder/easier for the artists to complete their work. Artful fun will ensue!

Free admission for Art Center members. Additional tickets can be purchased for $10 each. Free for 12 and under.

Thanks to our Title sponsor of this event, First Settlement Physical Therapy and for Valley Catering for providing refreshments.

Meet the Sitters!

Support your favorite sitter and give their artists a game-changing edge! Each sitter will be portrayed by three artists, and when you donate in their name, you’re not just cheering them on—you’re helping their team gain a creative advantage during the PAC Portrait Artist Caper.

The sitter with the most donations before the event will unlock exclusive perks for their artists, helping them navigate the creative chaos and boost their chances of winning. When you support one of the balding and/or bearded sitters you are helping an artist at the same time.
