We have a special opportunity to share our art with children
at the annual Children’s Festival. They pride themselves in giving kids an
opportunity to explore hands on activities, many times art. It’s a tradition
for many families in our community. (In fact, I (Sheri) have taken my children
and now grandchildren ever since Charity was very young. I have great pictures
of her and Laura with their faces painted.)
What will we do? Show up early enough to park and hike in. Bring a light weight paint set-up that is easy to carry, set up and paint. Of course enjoy the children, who no doubt will be curious and want to watch. They may have questions too.
The plein air painting time will be 6pm on Saturday, anybody
wanting to come needs to get their name to Lona Dillard ahead of time so
it can be on the volunteer lists and they can get in for free.

Here are some letters sent to Austin Maloney from Lona, the director of the Children's Festival.
Oh happy day! I'd love for you to do
what you do best.....create a painting.
Do you have any experience with Children's
Festival? We take over the Britt grounds for 4 days in July. We
have 3 sessions: Saturday July 12th 4:30-8:30, Sunday 13th 4:30-8:30 and Monday
14th 10:00-1:30. Attendees pay $3 to get in and have 35+ arts and crafts booths
to explore. We generally have an attendance of 2000-3000 per session.
I think it would be so wonderful for kiddos to
see an artist at work. You could set up wherever you like and begin.
I suspect you may be approached by interested individuals and I'd be
interested to hear your thoughts about how you might want to handle that...we
could support you however needed. I'm looking into asking additional
plein air artists to join us as well, and I think Saturday evening would be a
nice showcase.
So, what do you think?
Talk to you soon,
Lona
Hi Austin,
This sounds like quite a bit of fun! So
Saturday night will be our opening session. Things get started about 4:30
and run until 8:30. Parking is always an issue in Jacksonville.....those
that arrive by 4:00 generally have many choices, those that come later need to
walk more. That said, do you know how long you might want to stay?
We're really flexible on our end.
Also, we do have our volunteers/performers
check in, so I'll need your (as well as any others) basic info: name, email,
phone number, address.
Let me know what you think!

The emphasis this month is on inspiration. Whether it is your times with the Lord, being out in His creation, viewing really great art or visualizing your next painting.
Meet us at Hanley Farm and come prepared to draw or paint, in any medium! We will have a great time! Come even if you aren't able or ready to paint yet.
PS. We had a great time... Join us in May at Lithia Park.

Update: Our good friend, Ilene Gienger Stanfeld is the critique juror for this month.
Her work is fun and very fresh. She is accomplished both as an artist and a teacher... very kind and helpful. Check out her work at: Ilene Gienger Fine Art.
The critique was really great! Ilene is a delight, full of joy. It is encouraging to be around her and listen to her speak. Her love for art is infectious. She also had wonderful insight on how to improve our paintings. My take away is to aspire to be more creative... out of the box and come up with original ways to make my work stand apart as unique.
The next critique will be July 28th, same time and same place. Christina Madden will be the judge.

The weather is expected to be good, actually 91
degrees; but who knows as it is springtime in Southern Oregon... as
diverse as it is glorious! :-)
The emphasis this month will continue on inspiration. Whether it is your times with
the Lord, being out in His creation, viewing really great art or visualizing your next painting. We found inspiration a few weeks ago at Hanley Farm, just being out on that glorious spring day. It just
felt good to be there... we didn't even want to leave. Charity was still
painting when I left about 5:30!
So join us at Lithia Park. We will be there to have fun and be an encouragement
to one another. Bring your camera, sketch pad and pencil, pastels, watercolors, oils or whatever your favorite medium is. Hope to see you there.

| Hanley Farm House |
Hello! You are invited to participate in Artist Day
at Hanley Farm, June 14. This year we expect a significant visitor
increase, as we’re partnering with the farm’s Summer Lawn Party. Which
means more exposure, and potentially more sales, for you! Participation
is the same as last year – arrive early to set up. There is NO FEE. We
do however, ask that you donate 10% of the proceeds from your sales to
the farm.
The
Summer Lawn Party is a new event, and we’re excited to invite you to
join in! So plan to come out, sell your works, and enjoy the ambiance of
Hanley Farm. You’re encouraged to practice your craft. And, if you’d
like, please display works you wish to sell.

All you need to do is show up at 9am,
definitely no later than 10:30am (event starts at 11am), and choose your
spot to set up. That’s it! Due
to the number of events taking place this year, artists are asked to
set up on the front lawn of the Hanley Farm House, and surrounding
areas.
As
in past events, you’ll have several great sites, including the lawn in
front of Hanley House, the area to the left of the pavilion, the lovely
spring house area, Jackson Creek area, etc., to set up in.
