Calling All Plein Air Artists!

Join the Friends of Seymour Library, a non-profit volunteer organization, on Sunday, July 9, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. for their Garden Tour & Plein Air Art fundraising event in the historic and picturesque City of Auburn.  The proceeds from the event will go directly to support Seymour Library programs and services.

Artists will have the opportunity to paint in a variety of private and public gardens, culminating in a wet paint exhibition in the garden of Seymour Library, where a “People’s Choice” award winner will be selected to receive a $100 gift certificate from Nash’s Framing & Art in Auburn.  This is a rare opportunity to paint in some of the most beautiful gardens in Auburn!

Register by Friday, June 30. $15.00 donation to participate.
