In our weekly studio space in uptown PT’s Masonic Lodge, a diverse group of Quimper Arts members will be showing paintings, drawings and sculptures done in our studio and elsewhere. We’ll be open from 10am to 6pm, with a rotating staff of artists welcoming visitors. And, from 1pm to 4pm, visitors can artists sketch and paint from a live (clothed) model, or try their hand at it themselves.

This is part of return of the Port Townsend Studio Tour, largely due to the efforts of Raw Art Collective founder Jen Cohen. (Yay! Thank you Jen!) 59 studios, some (like Quimper Arts) featuring multiple artists, will offer a great overview of the vibrant arts scene here on the Quimper Peninsula. See further info at the Raw Art Collective website.

If you are a Quimper Arts member and haven’t yet signed up to participate, you have until August 12. Come to the Masonic Lodge August 5 or 12, pay $20 to help offset the cost of the space on August 24, and sign up for a shift of talking with visitors. Those who can’t come to the Masonic Lodge before the event can sign up email (artsign1@hotmail.com) and pay the $20 when you come to set up (8am-9am on Aug 12).
