Questa Quick-Draw

Don’t miss the First Annual Questa Quick-Draw event, coming this summer, on Saturday, June 24. Artists will paint in and around Questa’s historic heart and surrounding scenery—all on the same day, at the same time. Customers and collectors can seek out and observe the creativity or just come for the end-of-day show and sale.

What better surroundings to inspire creativity than the protected wilderness and history on display around the village of Questa?

Many professional artists who show in Taos County will be taking part, and youth artists are also encouraged to pre-register and receive FREE painting supplies. (Those under 14 years of age will need a parent or guardian present.)

Artists will gather between 8 and 9 am at the Questa Farmers Market/Questa Visitor Center site, just east of Questa’s one traffic light, for sign-in and registration, and to get their canvases (or other work surfaces) stamped to assure that the finished works are done during the event. Only stamped surfaces will be exhibited and considered for awards and prizes. Artists will also be given a mini-canvas to complete during the day, as a fundraiser for the Questa Creative Council, with shared profits.

Space is limited, and artists may register early by calling or texting Project Leader Mary Jo Kelly, at (575) 224-4220. Youth must pre-register, too.
