Description
Evergreen Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden will host the Windows to the Divine Plein Air Invitational Paint-Out in Evergreen from August 26th to the 28th. Over 40 award-winning artists from 10 states will paint outdoors on location for three days in the Evergreen area. Also, on Friday afternoon, August 27th, several artists will be painting live models from the Colorado Ballet Studio Company from noon to 4PM at the gallery. The finale of the three-day event will be a Quick-Draw on Saturday, August 28th. (The public is invited to watch as the artists, who will be stationed in and around the gallery and sculpture garden, will have 90 minutes to complete a painting.)
After the Quick-Draw, at a ticketed event, there will be a Champagne Brunch, an exciting "Dueling Paintbrushes" between Kathy Anderson and Stephanie Birdsall, artists from Richard Schmid’s famous Putney Painters, and a Live Auction for the Quick-Draw paintings that will be held under a tent on the gallery grounds. Tickets for the brunch and auction are $25.00 and must be purchased in advance.
