A PAINTERLY DAY AND FRESH PAINT AUCTION AT LAUDHOLM FARM

WELLS, MAINE - On Sunday, July 17, Laudholm Trust presents its fifth annual Painterly Day and Fresh Paint Auction. Ninety artists will paint pastoral landscapes, historic buildings, and quintessential Maine beach and marsh scenes from 8 am to 3 pm. Their works hang in the magnificent Laudholm barn from 5 to 7 pm for silent and live auctions. Food and music will 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.

An evocative Laudholm scene by watercolorist Peter Hoff will be raffled off during the event.

Proceeds from the event 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.
