Dear Friends,
You
and your fellow artists are invited to enter your art works in this
year’s Aurora Colony Day Art Show and Sale to be held August 9th and
10th, 2008. This show coincides with Aurora Colony Day
weekend, so we receive a good deal of exposure and many visitors
throughout the weekend. All artists, professional and
nonprofessional, and all media are welcome. You may enter as many
pieces of your original art as you wish. There will be a Best of
Show Prize of $100 in addition to many smaller awards in various
categories. In addition to a small admission fee, charged per
artwork, there is a commission fee of 25% for any works sold during the
show.
We are very lucky to have Dyanne Locati, a Portland area
artist of national renown, as this year’s featured artist. She works in
mixed media to create her stunning works of art. She is the former
owner of the Locati Creative Art Center, teaches a variety of art
classes and workshops, and she juries colored pencil and mixed media art
shows locally and nationally. In addition, she has served as the
President of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, Colored Pencil Society of
America, served on the national board of the CPSA as Executive Vice
President and Director of International Exhibitions. She also has been
the Director of a downtown Portland Art Gallery, and managed to find
time to form the Downtown Art Gallery Association, serving as its Vice
President. She has been published in and on the cover of twelve fine
art books in the United States, England and France.
There
will be an artists’ reception on Friday evening, August 8th,
from 6-8pm. This is a very well attended event and features a lovely
buffet dinner courtesy of Roberta Hutton, and a no host wine bar
provided by St. Joseph’s Winery. Many art pieces are traditionally sold
during this fun evening. See the registration sheet for more details or
rules regarding the show.
With a
minimum paid entry of one piece of original art, you are encouraged to
make prints or cards of your works available for sale. Please provide
your own display vehicle (basket, stand, etc.) as we will not have such
resources available for you. Be sure to label each piece with a price,
your initials, and an inventory number, and please create your own
inventory list prior to intake.
Please
let us know soon that you will be in the show so that we may reserve a
spot for your work and your prints! You may contact the Aurora Arts
Association through Kristine McNamara at (503) 678-7796. You may also
e-mail
quercusv8@yahoo.com.
