Visitor Information

Art in the County is a must-see event for art lovers, and a wonderful way to round out a visit to Picton. Artworks in a wide range of media are showcased, including watercolour, acrylic, oil and encaustic paintings, sculpture, fibre, wood, photography, ceramics, glass and more.

For 2024, we are continuing to hold an online show in addition to the in-person show to be held at The Armoury, County Arts Lab in Picton.

When visiting the in-person show, please take a moment to vote for your favourite piece of art. The People’s Choice Award and the Children’s Choice Award (for children aged 12 and under) will be announced on the last day of the show. Check local media outlets to see if your favourite artwork was chosen.
