PAINT-IN PLUS!

PSWNY is continuing its partnership with Ontario County Arts Council’s Open Art program and offering our members the opportunity to paint together once a month at Finger Lakes Community College’s Gallery 32 Arts Space in Canandaigua.  Our first Paint-In Plus is on Saturday, September 12 from 12:30 to 3:00; they continue on the second Saturday of the month through May.

This monthly gathering of artists has provided a great deal of fun, laughter, sharing, learning and painting and has resulted in two communal paintings and several individual paintings exhibited at our shows.  We urge all to give it a try - beginners and experienced painters alike.  You’ll have a blast!

We suggest you bring a painting you’re working on (or struggling with) or start something new. Enjoy sharing with other members or ask for feedback and suggestions as desired. The facility has tables and chairs, restrooms, a fridge and microwave, and a utility sink for cleaning up. Just bring your own set-up with table or standing easel, something to work on, and a towel or cloth to protect the area under your easel.  Works-in-progress encouraged or paint from something at the gallery.  Students from FLCC and members of OCAC will join us.

The Gallery is located at 36 South Main Street. Free parking is available on Main Street, next to City Hall at the railroad tracks, or behind Canandaigua National Bank.

Invitations to sign up will be sent each month.  You don’t have to register in order to attend, but we do appreciate getting an idea of how many will be there, so come even if you forgot to register! And we welcome non-PSWNY artists of all types (except please no oil paints).
