Paint-In at Cromwell Park - calling artists of all ages

Calling artists of all ages to join the first Paint-In at Cromwell Park on July 20 as part of Swingin’ Summer Eve 2011.

Bring your paints, pastels, pencils, paper or canvas, an easel if you need one and any other supplies to be self-contained, and create an artistic image of a bit of Cromwell Park. The park includes wooded areas, winding swales and paths, a bridge, artwork, open spaces, a gently sloped amphitheater and a spiraled look-out berm. The possibilities are endless.

Check in between 4:30 pm and 5:00 pm at the City of Shoreline information table to get a number and select a location. Bring your chair or blanket if you plan to sit while painting at this debut plein air art opportunity. Booths and sales of other artwork are not allowed, but you are encouraged to have cards with your contact information available for attendees who are interested in seeing more of your work.

Up to ten pieces created at the event will be displayed at City Hall in August. Selected artists will be announced from the stage at 8:30 pm following the Handful of Luvin’ concert.

If you plan to participate in this fun, free opportunity, please email Ros Bird, City of Shoreline Public Art Coordinator.
