Now in our fourth year, this open studio event - organized by Dartmouth and Westport artists - highlights educating visitors one-on-one in studio environments with demonstrations of diverse and unique talents in some very unusual and dramatic studio settings, spotted among the area’s villages, lovely farm land and sea coast. And as special feature this year visitors will have the opportunity view the works of a guest artists at several of the studios.Stop by Adriance Furnituremakers in Dartmouth for a preview exhibit of work by all participating artists. This exhibit will be on display from Saturday, July16 and continue through labor day weekend. Please see Adriance.com for their hours of operation and directions.
Again this year we are showcasing the work of the very talented high school students from both Dartmouth and Westport. Our Rising Stars show is located at South Wharf Yacht Yard. Please see the-Art-Drive.com for more details and samples of their work.
Surprising Stripers. Following last year’s enthusiastically received reception of Blue Fish, this year our artists will apply their unique talents to new, colorful and imaginative depictions of Striped Bass, another species also well know to our area. Art Drive artists and friends have been invited to create their own unique version, all of which will be displayed outdoors along the Art Drive routes for two weeks and then sold on eBay via our website.
Again this year we are asking each participating artist to individually donate 5 to 10% of proceeds from sales to the Lloyd Center for the Environment - a way to support an organization dedicated to educating people about their natural local environment, which is an inspiration to many of the artists who work and live in the area.
