Paint Sea on Site and Silent Auction

July 24th and 25th, 2010

Every summer the Lunenburg Art Gallery hosts a wet paint sale called Paint Sea on Site. As many as 70 artists converge on Lunenburg for a two day painting extravaganza.

The artists set up their easels all over town and the surrounding area. Paint Sea on Site is a wonderful experience for the public to observe artists at work and to have the chance to buy work they've been watching the artist do.

The artwork produced each day is sold in a silent auction. Some buyers have been known to follow a runner carrying a favoured work back to the fire hall... the bidding gets pretty intense sometimes. Proceeds from each painting are split between the artist and the Gallery.

The silent auction is at the Lunenburg Community Centre, Saturday and Sunday. You may pay the "take-away" price up until 3:30pm. All bidding ENDS at 4:30pm each day.

This years Paint Sea on Site event takes place July 24th and 25th in Lunenburg. Don't miss it!
