Paint Out 2011
Saturday, August 27, 2011

Co-sponsored by North Tahoe Arts and the Tahoe Donner Land Trust, Paint Out! brings artists and outdoor enthusiasts together at Lake Mary, Donner Summit, for a day of creativity, community, and exploration – of both the arts and the spectacular land in the North Tahoe area.

Come for an hour! Come for the day! Open to all, from the professional artist to the sketching day hiker, this event is free of charge. Bring your own materials and equipment, not forgetting bug spray!

From 9am -11am at the Hammond Family Cabin on Lake Mary Road, event host, Jennifer Landau, will be on hand with maps and suggestions for places to paint and walk.

The day will conclude from 3pm-5pm with an informal potluck BBQ and sharing of artwork created during the day. Bring something for the grill, finger foods and drinks. All can be left for the day in the cabin refrigerator.

Donner Summit and Lake Mary offer great walking, from the Pacific Crest Trail to a short loop around the lake, along with views of Donner Lake, Donner Peak and the mountains of Sugar Bowl. Sketch, paint and create from found objects in the company of other North Tahoe artists. Invite friends and family to hike, swim and discover artists at work. Organize a painting group. Bring a class. Watercolor, pastel, pen & ink, oils, acrylic, collage….all mediums are encouraged.

Arrangements are being made for an exhibit of works created at Paint Out!– watch for a further announcement of place and date at the North Tahoe Arts Center website http://www.northtahoearts.com/
