Last year Dan Dos Santos and I asked a group of artists to dedicate their time and talent to help raise money for the Society's student scholarship fund. Each artist created a miniature painting, 5x7, that was exhibited at the Society for a month and then auctioned on eBay. All of the proceeds went to the scholarship fund. That auction raised $5,700.00 for art students. We are very excited to announce this year's participants:
Patrick Arrasmith 
Tristan Elwell 
Eric Fortune 
Donato Giancola 
Rebecca Guay 
John Harris 
Steve Hickman 
Bruce Jensen 
Tom Kidd 
Todd Lockwood 
Red Nose Studio 
Dave Seeley 
Ashley Wood    
The paintings will be on display in June and, once again, auctioned on eBay. I'll update this site as the paintings come in and the auction draws near.

The paintings for last year's show were excellent. I've always had a fondness for miniature paintings and look forward to seeing what artists of this caliber come up with this year.
Thanks, David. I think the artists had a lot of fun with the small format. Our biggest probelm last year was wanting to keep all the paintings for ourselves.
Irene,
Is there anywhere we can see these tasty little morsels???? could you maybe post a few if you have copies of them?
Sweet, Red Nose agreed to do one.
Tracy - I'll certainly post them as they come in. They are not due until mid May, though. I hope a few people do them early - it helps spur on the rest of the crowd. In the meantime, here is a better look at last year's:

Arkady - Yeah, I'm a HUGE Red Nose fan....In fact, this whole thing is rather self-serving. For this and Art Out Loud, we just keep asking artists that we love and want to be involved with to join in.
