PT Artscape is pleased to announce the 2013 “Art Affair” fundraiser for the Arts in Education Program in the Port Townsend School District. These workshops are being planned as a hands-on arts experience this year. It is being coordinated by local teaching artists Susan Doyle, Jesse Joshua Watson, Wanda LeClerc and Margie McDonald, with the assistance of artist Max Grover. The workshops are inspired by the Jefferson Museum of Art and History’s current “Scapes” exhibit which features landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes. The workshops coincide with Art Wave–Student Art on display in Port Townsend stores through May.
CENTRUM has donated three beautiful art prints from their collection which will be silent auction items at the Escape into Art Workshops.
