8th ANNUAL STUDENT SHOW, OPENING Friday, MAY 13, 5-7:00 at Bramhall’s Country Store, 2 Sandwich St, Plymouth. I have lots of new students this year who have never participated. Here’s all the info:
Any student who has had a class with me over the past year or two is welcome to exhibit a couple of their new paintings. Over the next few weeks, kids are encouraged to look at their works and pick their best pieces to show. If parents agree, kids can put a price on their paintings, and Bramhall’s gets 10% if they sell. This is a great introduction to being an art professional.
The pieces will need to be framed to hang. We do 8.5x11work most of the time so Dollar Store document frames work great for this purpose.
AUCTION: We will also be making paintings of whales and dolphins to donate to our silent auction. I provide the framing. This year our work will benefit Whale & Dolphin Conservation, Inc, whose office is at 7 Nelson Street. http://us.whales.org The proceeds will go towards “adopting” some whales and orcas. How cool is that? This is a great way for kids to learn how sharing their artwork can benefit the rest of the world.
DEADLINES
April 15 – Commit to participate with titles of 2 works you will be displaying. (I make postcards, labels, and brochures for the show, which is why I need this info ON TIME)
May 9 – Artworks must be delivered to me so I can haul them over to Bramhall’s and start hanging the show.
This is the coolest opportunity for young artists, as there’s nothing like seeing your work hung in a public place, and it really gives the kids a taste of what it’s like to be a “real artist” participating in an exhibit.
