Reservation Views Paint Out!

This is actually a a sample of my work from last year's Reservation View Paint Out!

The Sandpiper Gallery will once again be hosting the Reservation Views Paint Out, Thursday, June 14th through Sunday, June 17th, followed by the corresponding Exhibition opening June 19th and a Closing Reception to be held on Friday, July 6th. Applications must be postmarked by June 1st. These forms will be available at the gallery and on the website www.sandpiperartgallery.com or email me for copies - kellyapgar(at)hotmail.com.
This is a non-juried paint out with a very reasonable registration fee, which is used to cover the cost of the event, with all remaining funds going to support the Sandpiper's exhibitions, classes and scholarship programs.
New This Year! Local Artists and Sandpiper Members; Kelly Apgar, Mary Kelley and John Davis will each be hosting a "group painting" event at a specific time and location on Thursday, Friday and Saturday respectively. Reservation Views participants have the chance to watch these artists work, meet the other participants and visit some specific locations together. You will also be able to "sign in" at these events or at the gallery as usual. Times and locations of the "group painting" events will be provided to all participants following the June 1st deadline.
You are encouraged to invite other artists to participate. Please feel free to share this invitation with anybody you know that is artistic, wants to be creative and/or someone that might enjoy this event! Getting the word out now also increases the number of potential "patrons" to the exhibition! Thank you.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Reservation Views Paint Out in June!
