I am starting to compile the list of students who will be exhibiting in the show. If you know you will be participating, let me know as soon as possible, as I can start putting together the postcard and program. If you know the works you’re going to show, the sooner I have that into, the better. Looking at my calendar, I’ve moved the deadline to commit to April 7. So let me know if your in.
DATES:
April 7 – Commit to Show
April 14 – Titles and prices or NFS of 2 paintings to exhibit
May 5 – Paintings delivered to me
May 13 – 5:00-7:00 Opening party and silent auction at Bramhall’s Country Store, 2 Sandwich St, Plymouth
Show will run for a month
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Any student who has had classes with me over the past year or so is welcome to put 2 new pieces in the show. They need to be framed and ready to hang. You can get 8.5×11 document frames at the Dollar Store. This is a great way for emerging artists to see their work hanging in a public place. Artists are welcome to put a price on their work, though most chose NFS (Not for sale). I recommend $20- $30 for the kids; Bramhall’s gets 10%.
AUCTION: In a few weeks we’ll be making paintings of whales and dolphins to auction off to benefit WDC – Whales & Dolphin Conservation http://us.whales.org. (Last year we raised over $500 for ERDG!) This is a great way for students to see how they can use their talents to benefit the greater good. Students don’t have to donate their work, but I encourage it. Starting bids are $10 per piece (except mine is $50) I take care of the framing. The works will be auctioned off at the opening on May 13.
OPENING is Friday, May 13, 5-7:00 at Bramhall’s Country Store, 2 Sandwich St, Plymouth where we have a fun party. Jim and I provide a bunch of pizzas, and everyone is encouraged to sign up to bring finger foods or kids’ drinks. I’ll be sending out an email with a sign up list, also posting at the blog where you can sign up in comments. I’ll provide paper plates and such.
The show will run about a month, and I’ll send out notice of the pick up date. Work will be picked up at Bramhall’s at the show’s end.
