Salem area artists - finding, sharing, and creating new opportunities
Paint the Town 2005
A month-long event, held annually in June/July, giving artists the opportunity to come out of their studios and create their art on location at selected spots in Salem. The paintings do not need to be completed on-site. The event was started in 1998 by Wayne Knowles, and has continued each year since. It is now organized by Artists in Action. Following the on-site painting event, there are awards and a group reception and exhibit.
Some of the sights for PTT 2005 are N W Viticulture Center, Riverfront Park, World Beat Festival, Cascade Gateway Park, Lavender Farm in Scio, A Grand Old Tree and Surrounding Cottages, Salem Art Fair at Bush Park, Historic Old Town Salem, and Arabian Horse Show at the State Fair Grounds.
