11th Annual Student Exhibit –\u00a0<\/strong>IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ!
\n<\/strong>Here are all of the details about the upcoming show and auction. Lots to do.<\/p>\n

If you have had any lessons with me in the past year, even if only a few, you are welcome to exhibit in this wonderful\u00a0event. And all are\u00a0welcome to join us for the opening, and visit the exhibit while it\u2019s up May 10 through 17th at Bramhall’s Country Store<\/a>, 2 Sandwich St, Plymouth.
\nThe annual show is a great way for young artists to get a taste of what it\u2019s like to be professional, and to see their work hanging in a public place. Kids are encouraged to sell their work if they’d like. Bramhall\u2019s get\u2019s 10% of the sales.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

1 – I need to know who is\u00a0participating. Many\u00a0kids assume\u00a0they are, but I need\u00a0confirmation from the parents.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span>Even if the kid isn\u2019t taking lessons right now, or only \u00a0came a few times, he\/she is still welcome to show work done with me over the past year. \u00a0 I make a postcard and will start compiling images presently. Once printed, artists will get a few to distribute to friends and family.<\/p>\n

THE EXHIBIT<\/strong>
\nKids need to start thinking about the 1 or 2 paintings they’d like to display. These will need to be framed for hanging. Newbies still have time to make a few more to choose from. Once they’ve chosen the works, encourage the kids to give their paintings creative and unique titles. All you need to do is to let me know the title and price or NFS of the piece that will be shown, frame it for hanging (dollar store document frames are perfect), and deliver it to me by May 4th. I\u2019ll take care of the rest. If you\u2019re having trouble deciding, you can see all of the works in this\u00a0blog\u2018s<\/a> weekly posts. If they want to put a price on the work, \u00a0I recommend around $30 for sales (Bramhall\u2019s takes only 10% commission as a kindness to our young artists.)\u00a0The exhibit, at Bramhall’s, 2 Sandwich Rd, opens May 10, 5-7PM, and runs through May 17 when artwork will be picked up.<\/p>\n

THE AUCTION<\/strong>
\nKids and parents agree to donate a painting made specially in class. We will make them the weeks of April 15 and 22 so everyone gets a chance to make one. I frame them, and we have a silent auction during the party on May 10. Last year we raised $1000! for the Pine Barrens Alliance<\/a>,<\/strong> \u00a0and we’re going to be benefitting them again this year because they cover so much important local environmental work. We’ll be making auction paintings of moths, red bellied cooters, horseshoe crabs, and bats.\u00a0\u00a0Donating to the auction is completely optional, and if a kid doesn\u2019t want to donate, it\u2019s perfectly okay.<\/p>\n

THE OPENING<\/strong>
\nEveryone is welcome! We have a big party and auction at Bramhall’s\u00a0on May 10, 5-7PM. Jim and I get a bunch of pizzas delivered, parents and families bring finger foods and kid drinks; Bramhall\u2019s provides wine and beer, and we have a blast! \u00a0Parents, please let me know what you plan to bring.
