The current show at Main Street Gal-lery is titled “Illumination” and runs until June 7 when there will be a “pick up only" frm 10-1pm ( drop off art for towers). The MSG space is used by the Plein Air event and will not have a regular show again until June 21, but there will be space avail-able in the towers for anyone wanting to sell art or jewelry during the 12 day period between shows. Congratula-tions for art sales go to Kerry Tharp for a mosaic, Rhoda Tews for a pastel, and Terri Lockwood for two encaus-tics.

The next show is titled “Freestyle” and begins July 21, drop off is from 10-1pm. The busy summer season will soon be here and we hope all of our MSG artists will take advantage of the opportunity to exhibit with all the bustle of tourist traffic soon to come. Have a great summer!

CALL FOR ARTISTS - 10th Annual ART in the PARK

Date of Event: Sunday, August 28, 2016 10am – 4pm

Location of Event: VILLAGE Park, in historic downtown Menomonee Falls, WI. Attendance last year was 650+ and sales were up over the past years. This is a juried event, and jewelry spaces are limited. We will have food vendors, roving musicians, kid’s activity area, and silent auction tent.

We highly encourage artists to be actively working on their art. If that is not possible we recommend pieces of art in different stages of completion and or some tools of the trade. This creates an educational bond be-tween artists, patrons, and visitors similar to attending a Pleine Aire event but with all mediums represent-ed. With last years success we are going to increase advertising an awareness to make this even bigger and better.

Also we are looking for other Art Groups to display. If you are a member of any Art Group in SE Wisconsin and wish to display/sell your work as a group Please contact us. This is a wonderful opportunity for other groups to build on their membership and create a unified visual arts presence. Painting groups, sketch clubs, Wood carving organizations, any visual arts guild, league or society. All of us gain when we work to-gether. 10x10 individual spaces - $40 or 10x20 group spaces - $75. 10x10's can be shared space for 2-3 Artists. Event is held rain or shine. Spread the word! Tell your Artist friends or group leaders.
