The Three Rivers Art Hop is August 19, prospective participants call Mary.
Out of area are:
The Vicksburg Art Hop, 5 to 9 pm August 12, online info not too clear, but Becky recommends visiting the studio of pastel artist Coco Sweeney during the hop at 105 Main St. (Link is to Facebook)
Brian sends word of the Bluegill Frolic Aug. 26-28 in Marcellus.
The Marcellus DDA is spearheading an attempt to rehab the old Columbian Hotel in Marcellus into an “arts building.” On Saturday, August 27, the Hudson Memorial Building in conjunction with the Columbian Hotel Committee and the Bluegill Frolic Committee will host an “unjuried artist show and sale”. 10×15 spaces will be $20 inside in the gym or outside on the lawn, a donation to the building fund. Call Julia Birt 580-1216 for more information.
More info about the Bluegill Frolic: http://bluegillfrolic.com. Marcellus Bluegill Frolic LLC has a “call for artists” for their “Craft/Vendor Fair”. All booths must be registered through the MBF LLC process. Download their entry form at http://bluegillfrolic.com/downloads/BlueGillFrolic2011-VendorBoothForm.pdf. This seems to be different from the above, not sure.
