Hello Fellow Artists,

The Truro Art Society is excited to sponsor our second annual Paint the Park event. This year the event is running in conjunction with Canada's Parks Day, Saturday July 17, 2010. We invite all Nova Scotia artists to come join us in Victoria Park for a full day of painting in this picturesque setting with bridges, flowers, and a fabulous waterfall.

On Friday evening, July 16^th, from 5:30 pm there will be a meet and greet instruction session with a discussion lead by guest speaker Carol Morrison. You can check in at this time or on Saturday morning July 17^th at 8:30 am when all artists will receive a bag with our stylized Paint the Park logo containing water, a map, and instructions.

Throughout Saturday, as you create, runners will provide you with food and water. Upon completion, they will take your finished pieces back to our Gallery (the tent) in the park. Each artist will have a bidding sheet and will set a take-away or reserved bid price for each piece completed. The public may view the pieces and place their bids until 4:30 pm when the silent auction will be finalized.

Each artist is permitted to display 2 previously matted or framed original works to be delivered to the gallery in the park on Saturday morning. Make sure your name, address, name/title of work, and price are on the back of each submission.

You will retain 80% of the selling price of both wet and dry artwork.

The registration fee is $20. Please make your cheque payable to the Truro Art Society. You registration form (see attached) and fee must be received by June 15, 2010. Please include a short biography with your registration to be displayed at the Gallery.
