Portland, OR, MT. TABOR Park Centennial Paint Out and Exhibit (July)

Greetings Friends, Artists, and other Notables!

As part of this summer's Mt Tabor Centennial Celebration, I'm inviting you to a Paint Out. Simply put, we'll be celebrating art-making, community, and Mt Tabor by painting/creating within (or close to) Mt Tabor Park. This event also includes (staffed/secure) display and sales tents for the fresh/wet art that is created.

The form below outlines the basics of the Mt Tabor Centennial Celebration Paint Out with application information. To keep things simple, you can reply via e-mail with basic information (name, phone, e-mail) if you would like to participate. A small fee of $15 to cover tent, security, and other expenses can be paid during the event. I've decided to extend the official Paint Out time from the Saturday before the event (July 25) through Sunday (August 2). This way, when the tent goes up Saturday morning, we'll have art for it - and if you like to spend more time on your paintings/art - you've got it!

Please note that this is an unjuried event - any any media or approach/style is welcome.

The Centennial Celebration is shaping up to be a large, fun happening. Expect music, booths, a parade, classic car show, and more. Visit www.mttabor100.org for additional information. Also, there is a juried art exhibit that will be housed in a tent adjacent to ours. You can find information about this event on the website as well.

As part of the Paint Out, I'm looking for a handful of artists to demonstrate their art-making as part of a public plein air demonstration. Please let me know if this interests you.

Freely share this information with other artists - the more the merrier!
