Look out for WET PAINT! Sat.6/10!
WET PAINT! the art event in Oxford, NY
Update for this Saturday, June 10th's event!! Volunteers are still welcome!
Colorscape Chenango presents the 3rd Annual WET PAINT! in the village of Oxford on Saturday, June 10th, in an exciting fundraising event. 15+ Artists have signed up to paint and draw throughout the village of Oxford from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., and you are invited to watch them as they work.
The artists come from across the central New York region, and will be
working in a variety of media including oils, watercolors, acrylics, pen and
ink,pastels and mosaics.
An Information Center will be set up LaFayette Park where visitors can learn more about WET PAINT! and Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival, and find out where artists are working, since they will be moving during
the day.
Artwork created during the day will then be displayed "wet," unmounted and unframed in LaFayette Park. The public will have an opportunity to place bids on the work during the day.
The live art auction of the work will be held at 3 PM, with Russ Conover, an auctioneer from Afton. He is coming out of retirement for this special event.
These one-of-a-kind works of art are sure to generate excitement and the
public is invited to be a part of the action.
Proceeds from the auction will be split between the artists and Colorscape Chenango Arts Festival.
To participate as an artist, or for more information about the event contact Colorscape at (607)336-FEST orsend an e-mail request to info@olorscape.org (mailbox:///C%7C/Documents%20and%20Settings/Jeanie/Application%20Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/piwje93c.default/Mail/mail.oxfordny.com/Inbox?number=100877750).
