Paintout at England Acres Farm April 28, 2013




England Acres Farm Painting Opportunity Coordinated by Deborah Richardson

There is enough interest among the group to have a paintout at England Acres Farm on Sunday, April 28, during "Sheep Days".  Judy would like our display set up by 10:00 AM.  The Richardsons will put up the stands in the morning around 8:30. They think eight or nine stands will be enough for each artist to show two or three farm related paintings.  If you don't have farm paintings, rural landscapes would be fine.  Deborah will bring hooks on which painting will hang. Make sure the paintings have your name and price clearly marked. Each artist is responsible for taking care of the sale of there work. It is not a function of England Acres. If the weather does not look great we can set the display up in the bank barn.  There are many areas where we can paint out of the weather.

Judy has also extended an invitation to show artwork on the walls inside the market for an extended time.  Each artist can arrange that with her personally. 

If you would like to go over to the farm and take pictures, England Farm Market is open on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM till 4 PM.
