Letter from Keith Wilcock - Wilcock Gallery

Dear Richard,

Here is a progress report on the OPM Arboretum show.

Wow!  Forty three artists responded to the call and brought  82 paintings to the Wilcock gallery.  The quality is excellent. Joe and I had a difficult time deciding what to include.  As I mentioned, the Reedy gallery can accommodate about 50 paintings..  Because many of the pieces are small, we are pushing the total to 55 or 60. Everyone who entered will get at least one piece in. We eliminated some of the snowscapes in favor of flowers.  We had a few too many shades of green landscapes and tried to choose pieces that would represent variety. Several pieces were actually painted at the Arboretum.

We still need some artist statements for the binder in the gallery.  They can be e-mailed to us at joe@wilcockgallery.com .

It was fun meeting so many seasoned artists, seeing their art and learning more about their activities and careers.  We hope to see OPM members painting in the Arboretum, if spring ever really does arrive.

Questions or concerns can be directed to us at (952) 470-8118.

Blog Update

Hi OPM

I added a couple of features to the blog, just wanted to make you aware.
On the right hand column I added a list of plein air events with a link to more their websites, a list of other plein air groups with links, and a few cool online resources with links.

Richard


If anyone has a link they think I should add email me at richard@richardabraham.com

More Information on Jaques Art Center Plein Air Event

Hi OPM,

 

I'm sure many of you got the email from Angie Barnhart at the Jaques Art Center in Aitkin.

 

Their plein air event will be held July 17th to July 20th. The email had more information and a registration form attached to get a copy email jac@jaquesart.com

 

Elosie Butler Event Update

Hi OPM,

 

I've been in touch with Lauren Borer the Education Coordinator at the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden & Bird Sanctuary.

 

She sent me this.
 

"June 8^th is a busy day at the Garden. The Urban Birding Festival will taking place that weekend with birding walks going on in and around the Garden. There will also be a family event happening near the Wirth Pavilion and within the Garden through In the Heart of the Beast Theater company called Fairies and Flowers.

 

I would like promote these event together since they are all happening on the same day. Do you have any images, logos, or photos that can be used to make a simple postcard or flier to be posted in our Visitor’s Shelter on our bulletin board."

So I'm putting it out there to send me a any images of wildflower paintings that I could send her along with the OPM logo. Please just send me one image, I'll send her 3 jpegs max. I just thought this would be better than Lauren getting 50 emails with images attached.

Thanks,

Richard

Arboretum Show Update from Keith Wilcock

Hey OPM,
Just received this email from Keith, passing it on.


Hi Richard,

Regarding the Arboretum show:

Up to two paintings delivered to the Wilcock Gallery at 218 Water Street, downtown Excelsior, on or before April 15. They need not be all field sketches. Larger studio painting are also acceptable.  They should be framed with wires for hanging. (We can help if need be.) Artists will receive 3 month passes to get into the Arboretum for painting and to attend the show. We will also have them sign our consignment agreement which provides insurance coverage during the show..

We will hang the show , take it down, bill the Arboretum for sold pieces and pay the artists. We will hang the show May 1st and take it down July 31. We will make the final decision on what to hang but everyone who enters will get at least one piece in. No opening celebration on May ist.

We will celebrate on the June 2nd paint out.  On that day the Arboretum has also scheduled "Music in the Gardens", so there should be a good crowd of visitors.  At 4PM we will bring the field sketches to the Reedy gallery for a "show and tell".  There will be punch and cookies.  Perhaps you can give a brief presentation for visitors and OPM members on the challenges of plein air painting and OPM's mission.

Anyone with questions or concerns can call us at (952) 470-8118.

Yours,

Keith Wilcock
