The Dutchess County Arts Council invites you to participate in a PAINT-OUT/PHOTO SHOOT at the Dutchess County Fair, on Wednesday and/or Thursday, August 25th & 26th.
Artists are encouraged to depict and interpret any aspect of the Dutchess County Fair that sparks their interest – the midway, people, animals, the agricultural products, the food, etc. The work must be produced on site on one or both days of the PAINT-OUT/PHOTO SHOOT, and the final piece must be ready by Friday, August 27th. (The work must be ready to hang – signed, framed, and wired.) The maximum size is 18″x24″. Any frame is acceptable, even a wood strip frame. Plexiglass only, no glass is permitted.
Finished artwork will be on view Friday night through Sunday, August 27-29, at the fairgrounds, in Building D (Specialty Foods Building). The public will be invited to vote for their favorite painting or photo onsite or online and all art will be available for purchase through an online auction. The Dutchess County Fair will select art work from those entries with the most votes to use in promotional materials for the 2011 Dutchess County Fair. The work will be on view at the Cunneen Hackett Art Center in Poughkeepsie from August 31 – September 27. The online auction will be open during that time.
Artists will receive a 50% commission on all work sold on the online auction. The other 50% will benefit the Dutchess County Arts Council Arts Fund.
