3. Win a digital copy of The Painter and The Thief


Elevation Pictures’ new movie THE PAINTER AND THE THIEF, is now available on demand and on digital. The company has generously given Arteast Ottawa four complimentary digital copies to give away to our members. This documentary follows a Czech naturalist painter Barbora Kysilkova and her extraordinary story of friendship with one of the thieves who stole her paintings from an Oslo art gallery. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and was part of the 2020 Hot Docs Festival selection. The Globe and Mail called it "the best documentary of the year". The film not only gives a great insight into the work and techniques of this talented painter, but also very cleverly shifts perspectives to show the vulnerabilities and struggles of two different souls and an inextricable bond that art creates between them.


For your chance to win a complimentary digital copy of the film, please email us with your response to the question "Why did you join Arteast Ottawa"? Your response will help us in planning our business strategy for the next three years. A draw for the winners will take place at the GWA online presentation on June 23rd. Please email your response to arteastottawa@gmail.com

Deadline for submissions is June 21, 2020.
