By Kate Monk TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF GRAND BEND — By or- ganizing the Paint the Huron Shores art con- test, Grand Bend artist Barry Richman could be planting the seed that will help art bloom in the region. Richman is optimistic about this year's show and sale taking place at the Lambton Heritage Museum March 12-28. Marine themes, land- scapes, architectural, historical or regional flo- ra and fauna are all en- couraged to compete for over $4,000 in cash and purchase awards, with $2,000 for 'Best in Show'. Last year, 60 artists submitted 85 pieces of art and as of late last week, Richman had mailed 150 applications to interested artists. Richman said this year will be a good test of whether the show is sus- tainable and he hopes to get more corporate spon- sorship on board. One reason for or- ganizing the Paint the Huron Shores show is to provide a venue for rep- resentational artists — painters of landscapes and realism. "There aren't a lot of professional venues for representational artists," Richman said, noting there are many shows for objective, abstract or abstract expressidnism art which he says is the "darling of the critics Barry Richman of Grand Bend hopes the Paint the Huron Shores art show and contest will promote artists and the Lake Huron region. Beside Richman is Aus- able in Autumn by Bill Nieuwland of Huron Woods and other representational paintings that depict the theme of the show. these days." His love of the com- munity and the Lake Hu- ron area is another rea- son for the show which is patterned after the high- ly successful Art for the Parks shows in the U.S. Richman believes the show will also help the tourism industry by ex- panding the Sea- son and raising awarenes s of the Huron shoreline for a "new kind of visitor." "I'd love to have people come to the area who plan art and painting holidays and paint the area and enter the show," Richman ex- plained. Looking at the longer term, Richman sees cal- endars and post cards in the mix and hopes the projects "will develop the community in the cultural sense." "We have a good her- itage from the Huron Country Playhouse but we don't put a lot of stock into the visual arts," Richman said. He'd like profits from the show and associated endeavors to go back "I'd love to have people come to the area who plan art and painting holidays and paint the area and enter the show?'
