Confetti and Art of Biddeford are hosting the inaugural Biddeford Brush on Saturday, October 3rd. The Biddeford Brush is a wet paint auction fundraising event to benefit the Biddeford Youth Arts Scholarship (BYAS) Fund.

A wet paint event is when the artwork is created and sold in the same day. This event will be featuring Maine plein air artists capturing the essence of this diverse city. This exciting celebration of art and community will conclude with a ticketed auction event during which paintings made throughout the day will be available for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to the BYAS Fund.

The BYAS Fund aims to remove financial barriers for children eager to explore the arts in Biddeford, Maine by providing scholarships for youth participation in local visual and performing arts programs, including art classes, dance, theater, and music lessons.

We are currently accepting applications from plein air artists interested in participating in this event. Accepted mediums include, oil, acrylic, watercolor and gouache paint, chalk or oil pastels.
