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
