The last four years have provided us with fun filled days for our annual Newburgh plein air paint out.  In 2008, we are looking forward to our fifth year. Following is information regarding this year’s plein air paint out sponsored by Riverwind Gallery . Artists may pick up an information packet with their official badge between June 2-7 or find more information at www.riverwindgallery.com.  A 30 percent commission will be charged on all paintings sold at the reception with 10% going to Media Ministries Dream Center, a local  children’s organization. We ask that 10% of any  paintings sold other than at the reception still honor the 10% to be donated to  Media Ministries for the children.  Please note that this year’s reception will be held on the day following the actual paint out, Sunday June 8 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Paper or canvases are not required to be marked prior to the paint out. We will rely on the Artist’s integrity that they will only paint between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday June 7.

Artists wishing to participate in the Sunday afternoon reception and sale at Riverwind Gallery will need to deliver their artwork to Riverwind Gallery by 4 p.m. Saturday June 7.  Please have your artwork ready to be displayed. If framed, it will need to have a wire hanger on the back.. This includes photo frames if you want them to hang on the wall. Otherwise, they will be displayed on a table top. For paintings not in a frame that will set on a tabletop,  you will need a small  table easel on which to display them. Any media is acceptable.

 We strongly encourage those artists not wishing to participate in the afternoon reception  to stop by and pick up artist name tags and “plein air” flyers to display on their easels or around their painting area to wordlessly explain the public  about the event as they approach painting artists.

Artists may set up and paint anywhere in or around the Newburgh area. You may paint scenes, florals, people or whatever you choose as long as it is not deemed objectionable.

Artists will be responsible for filling out the title/price card to be turned in with the finished painting. You will need to fill in the title, artist name, medium and retail price. This will be the actual information card to be attached to the art to be sold. If you have any questions, please call Norma at 812-853-2537 or email at riverwindgallery@yahoo.com
