We are very excited to be participating in the 2011 Artist Road Show in Orleans County, an annual Art Trail sponsored by GO Art!.
Saturday August 27, 2011
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Download our map to print out at home, or request a map sent in the mail.
As a part of the Orleans County Artist Road Show, members of Artists of The Oak will appear in four plein aire tent studio locations featuring multiple artists at each stop.
Our tent studio locations will feature Artists of The Oak and their works (originals, prints, notecards, etc.), plein aire painting sessions, free coffee in the mornings*, free lemonade and cookies, free hellium balloons for kids, and live music (see map for details of which locations will feature free items and music).
In an effort to help new or aspiring art collectors in building a collection of original art from local artists, we will be sure to include original pieces ranging in price from $20 to $100. So, bring a little bit of money and get your private collection started!
An "Art Trail" is a free event open to the public featuring a number of artists within a community along a "trail", often at their homes or studios. People who want to tour the Art Trail receive a free map leading them along the trail. An Art Trail is an excellent opportunity for local people and tourists to get to know the artists and the artistic products of a particular region, county, etc.
Many artists throughout Orleans County will be participating in the 2011 Orleans County Artist Road Show, in addition to Artists of The Oak. You may get a map directly from GO Art! for the entire event, or pick one up at one of our four locations the day of the event.
