In celebration of its twenty-fifth anniversary, the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre presents the Walker Industries Art Competition. Twenty-five finalists were selected by a jury of six renowned experts in the Canadian art field. An exhibition of the finalists' work will be on display from July 4 - August 4 at the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre.

During that month, visitors to the Pumphouse will have an opportunity to vote for the People's Choice Award. The first and second place winners will be announced at the exhibition opening, ‘Walker Industries Art Competition 2019, hosted by the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre’, on July 4th at 7:00 p.m. This event is open to all members of the Pumphouse and the public.

There is a third prize of $250 for the People’s Choice Award. Visitors to the Pumphouse will be able to vote for their favorite work of art during the month-long exhibition.

All three prizes will be awarded at the Walker Industries Art Competition Award ceremony on August 4 at 3:00 p.m. during The Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre's 25th Anniversary Celebration Party, presented by Niagara Casinos. This highly-anticipated event is open to all and takes place on the final day of the 14th annual Art at the Pumphouse Original Art Show and Sale at the riverfront of the Pumphouse.
