Call for Artists

 

Plein Air at Wrightsville Beach

May 8 and 9, 2015

 

Plein air artists are invited to participate in the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History’s second plein air event. We will encourage the participation of the public in this event by inviting them to drop by and watch the artists as they paint. A portion of the sales of the works will support the museum.

 

Artists will have their canvases stamped at the museum beginning at 8 am on Friday May 8. Artists may paint until 2 pm on Saturday May 9. They will bring their paintings to the museum for A Wet Paint Sale 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm on the lawn and porch of the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, 303 West Salisbury Street. The artists will gather and the public is invited to view and purchase an original piece of art. If the artist chooses, up to two unsold paintings per artist may be hung in the Museum through August.

Artists must register prior to the event. Registration will be limited to the first 40 artists who register and pay their registration fee. For more information, call the museum at 910-256-2569 or visit their website  www.wbmuseum.com .

Save the Date 

 

We hope your year is off to a very creative start.

We want to be sure you get this year's Art in the Arboretum on your calendar.  SO!  SAVE THE DATE for OCTOBER 2, 3 & 4.  Last year was extremely successful for both artists and the arboretum. A large part of this success had to do with the quality of art you provided and the generosity you demonstrated by participating in the show. We hope that each of you will consider participating in this fun and exciting event again this fall!  

 

Looking forward,

 

The Art in the Arboretum Artist Committee
