Paint the Peninsula 2018 - Artist Registration
Blue Hill Public Library's fresh paint fundraiser is now in its 7th year and just gets better and better. On the morning of July 14th, over 80 area artists will find a spot on the Blue Hill Peninsula and create works in the morning that are displayed and sold at a reception and silent auction later in the day. Proceeds are shared between artists and library, raising significant funds for BHPL. Plus, it's a really fun party!
Close to 500 people attend the Reception and Silent Auction that afternoon from 4:30-7:00pm, and usually 80% of submitted works sell at the event. We are fortunate to live in a community with so many talented artists and people who love art.
