Ask Tom about "Plein Air Painting"
Yesterday the downtown streets of Huntsville and the River Mill Park looked like a snapshot of any European village in the south of France or Italy. Over 20 artists took to the downtown with paints, brushes, canvas, easels and lots of talent to create their own masterpiece. Interested tourists and locals gathered around to catch a glimpse of art in the making by professional artists as well as local celebrities Mayor Claude Doughty, Counsellor Fran Coleman and Counsellor Mary Jane Fletcher. An auction was held at 3:00pm on the steps of Town Hall and many were able to purchase great quality art at a fraction of the price. The event was created in partnership with Kelly Hollingshead of The Shutterbug Gallery and the Festival of the Arts. All proceeds going to a Student Arts Bursary.
