Welcome to The Art Drive
Saturday and Sunday
August 16 and 17th, 2008
10 am - 5pm
This new open studio weekend event — organized by Dartmouth and Westport artists — highlights educating visitors one-on-one, in real-life studio environments with demonstrations of diverse and unique talents.
Consisting of some of the area’s premiere painters, ceramic artists, photographers, jewelers and others, the ART drive uniquely puts emphasis on a consistent and high level of professionalism and quality in some very unusual and dramatic studio settings, spotted among the area’s villages, lovely farm lands, and seacoast.
Lovers of the arts will enjoy a great weekend venue while touring these historic Massachusetts Southcoast towns. With only 15 miles separating the twenty-four studios, visitors will enjoy a casual drive through this picturesque area with plenty of time for a picnic lunch or to dine at area restaurants. Each artist has been asked to donate a percentage of their profits to the Lloyd Center for the Envoronment (www.lloydcenter.org)— 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.
