Here’s the twist…
Each PAG member, in order to participate, will be required mentor a young artist of their choice, i.e., a child, grandchild, or young person (18 and under). The goal should be to provide a nurturing and positive learning experience for the young artist to include: Developing the Art, Preparing it for show, Receiving a professional critique, and Possible sale. Show will also include art of young artists, one per PAG member participating in show. The PAG member art and the art of the mentored Young Artist will “Hang together” on display for the duration of the show.
This show is intended to give young artists an experience in developing and displaying and possibly selling art they have created under the watchful eye of a PAG member.
Application to the show will be:
- Reserve a space on or before June 30.
- Call or Email Venue Managers, Bill and Meridy Parker, 303-646-4521 or email: wandmparker@mho.com
All mentored art will include a brief bio of the artist, and each piece of art on display, mentored and member alike, will display a PAG label with the artist name, title of the art, medium used, and price for sale price and contact phone number. All 2D art, for example, must be suitably framed able be hung with wire. (see website for approved hanging procedures) The PAG member mentor will be responsible for any costs of material associated in getting the young artist’s piece of work created and displayed. Note: This need not be expensive and good and prudent judgment should be used in accomplishing this task.
Show Setup: Saturday July 7, 2012 9AM-Noon. Accepted PAG members and their young artists should deliver their art to the Library during that time. Placement of all art for showing will be as items are received.
