Paintfest Planning Meeting

I hope you can make it to our first public meeting. We will be meeting with interested community members and working on plans for Paintfest, our first real fund-raiser and community event. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, Oct 14 at 7pm in the Main View Gallery at 73-75 Main Street, Oneonta. The gallery is located on the corner next to the Oneonta Fire Station. Everyone is welcome and can call Andrea Thies with questions at 607-433-0160 or email WorldOfLearning@live.com.

Then mark your calendars for Saturday, November 15th from 10am-2pm. You will want to be a part of the First Annual Paintfest! We are currently searching for interested artists and fun-loving volunteers to do paint-themed activities with kids of all ages. Activities include painting a community canvas, paint and take-home ornaments, pottery painting, and silly games with paint (including paint-balloon darts--although it's not clear to me how to get the paint into the balloon while blowing it up).

This event is being planned by Oneonta World of Learning (OWL) in coordination with UCCCA, ARC Otsego and The Magic Paintbrush Project.
