Sculpt a Creature Contest

Sculpture Contest for Kids

Are the dog days of summer getting you down? Join us in beating the heat with our Sculpt a Creature Contest at The Paint Spot! This summer, we’re challenging youth to make a creature out of air-dry or polymer clay that we’ll display in store! This is the time to be creative, think unconventionally, and bend the rules! Will your creature be real, imaginative, or a mix of both? Will it have wings, feathers, scales, three heads, or ten eyes?

Here’s how the sculpture contest works:

1. The contest is open to ages 15 and below, one entry per person!
2. Create a character out of air-dry clay (Amaco, Das, Gedeo) or polymer clay (Sculpey).  
3. The sculpture must…
   • stand by itself
   • fit in a 6×6” square
   • not exceed 10” in height
4. Bring it in to The Paint Spot by Saturday August 13, 2022 at 6 PM.
5. We’ll display it with all the others for 2 Weeks, with
6. Voting open to the public and the artists on staff. (One vote per person).

Winners will be contacted on August 29 and announced online by August 30.
