Save the Date!

Well, aside from a few little fishies that Christine Thomas would like to add, the mural is ready to launch.  We have the scissors, we have the ribbon, and now we have the date!  So save the date--January 12th, 6-7 pm at the Community Center where the Vero Beach Mural resides.  Wine and a nice variety of hors d'eouvres will be served, and many of the people featured in the mural will be in attendance.

We three artists are busily working on our legends and compiling the information and artwork therein.  Vero Beach Art Club member and Mural Dedication Chairman Margaret Goembel is our expert coordinator for this event, and our whippersnapper VBAC Office Manager Christina Tascon is handling many of the time-sensitive, graphics, marketing and other coordinating duties.

The Reception is free and open to the public, so we expect a great turnout.  We are so looking forward to formally presenting to the City this giant work of art which represents the paradise that is our Vero Beach.  And thanks to all those, aside from we artists, who made this project possible.

July 16th, our 100dth+ Mural Painting Session

NOTE: The Vero Beach Mural Project is being Sponsored by the Vero Beach Art Club as a gift to the City.  The artist members of the Vero Beach Art Club who are volunteering their time and talents are Dawn Mill (Project Manager), Christine Thomas (www.innerspacesandouterplaces.com), and Judy Burgarella (http://www.burgarellaart.com/).   Examples of artists' work can also be found on www.verobeachartclub.org/.  The Mural consists of six stretched canvas panels, 36' long by 8' high, each panel 8' x 6'.  Created in and for the Community Center, in their "Florida Room," 2266 14th Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida USA, 772-978-4592.  Visitors are welcome to watch the artists paint between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays.


Since this blogger has been "Missing In Action" for a while now, there have been several painting sessions that I have not attended.  Dawn Mill recently finished her part of it also, so Christine has been painting away whenever she got the chance.  Therefore, the sessions number now over 100, but I've lost track since I am not there.  Below are some photo she sent me July 16th (I am posting this July 18th).

Well, that's all for this post.  Another coming that I'll post tonight, and it's a doozy!
