First, The Big Draw: a fundraising drawing extravaganza for the Beacon Open Studios 2010. The Big Draw will be a drawing marathon, party and live auction. A handful of exquisite corpse drawings created by notable Beaconites will be auctioned off and a broad wide selection of 6"x8" 2D works will be available for $40 each. Artists will be on hand drawing throughout the evening.
Deadline for submitting 6"x8" works for thee event is May 23. Artists whose 6x8's are sold will receive 50% ($20) of the purchase price.
Artists will also be on hand creating drawings throughout the evening. If you are interested in drawing during the event, or submitting a piece, check out the submission info & form
This event is not restricted to Beacon artists. Anyone from anywhere are invited to submit work.
Remember, Beacon Open Studios is taking place on Sept. 25 & 26. Artists interested in participating can sign up for the low low price of $20 until June 5th at which point the fee will rise.
I can tell you that both members of the maykr household will be participating this year...since one of us will have just finished her MFA, and last year's installment was so successful.
Next, Windows on Main St is coming back for its sixth year.
Deadline for project proposal submissions is July 1. As I understand it Ty Marshal has handed over his share of the reigns to Katy Peace, but Melissa Tatge is still involved in the inner workings. The exhibit will be taking place from August 14 to September 11.
