Paint the Day

Can you create a masterpiece in just one day?

We’re calling all artists and photographers – whether you’re a professional, an enthusiastic amateur, or a young creative still finding your style. “Paint the Day” is back for 2025, and this year it’s joining forces with the #LoveTheReans weekend – a celebration of local talent, green spaces, and the creativity thriving right here in Whitmore Reans.

This popular annual event invites participants to spend a single day capturing the area through any visual medium. From streets and canals to hidden beauty spots, artists are encouraged to explore the surrounding area- of Wolverhampton Arts Centre, Gatis Street Community Space & Wildside Activity Centre and find inspiration wherever it strikes.

Open to all ages and abilities, the challenge is simple: create your artwork on Saturday 6th September, bring it back to us by 5pm, and see it displayed in our public exhibition the next day.
