A PAINTERLY DAY AND FRESH PAINT AUCTION AT LAUDHOLM FARM

WELLS, MAINE -- On Sunday, July 18, Laudholm Trust presents its fourth annual Painterly Day and Fresh Paint Auction. About 90 artists paint pastoral landscapes, historic buildings, and quintessential marsh scenes from 8 am to 3 pm. Their works hang in the Laudholm barn from 5 to 7 pm for silent and live auctions, where food and music enliven the atmosphere as art lovers consider their bids. Admission to the catered reception and auction is $25 per person. Advance tickets are available by mail or at the Wells Reserve Visitor Center, 342 Laudholm Farm Road, Wells.

Down East magazine says A Painterly Day is "a great opportunity to pick up some nice work from a genuine Maine talent at a fair price." For a list of participating artists, visit www.laudholm.org.

The public is invited to watch artists at work during the day. Admission to the site is $1 for ages 6 to 16, $2 for those over 16, and free for members of Laudholm Trust.

Proceeds will benefit the artists and Laudholm Trust, which supports research, education, and stewardship at the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve. For more information, call (207) 646-4521.
