Sunnyshore Studio is seeking three sponsors for our upcoming Vintage Watercolorists of Washington FINALE AT THE FLOYD art show that will take place Saturday, March 11. Here is a little more information about the Vintage Watercolorists of Washington project.
VINTAGE WATERCOLORISTS OF WASHINGTON PROJECT
Washington State has been home to a host of distinguished watercolor artists such as Perry Acker, Jess Cauthorn, Victoria Savage, Elizabeth Warhinik, Mike Burns and Arne Jensen. And Washington has master “vintage” watercolorists painting today. To highlight this legacy, Sunnyshore Studio hosted four Vintage Watercolorists of Washington shows (in March of 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022). Each show honored five legendary living watercolorists who enriched the cultural life of Washington through their art, teaching, and leadership. Our vision was to preserve and share their stories through a video documentary and a coffee table book to inspire a new generation of watercolorists. The Vintage Watercolorists of Washington project culminates with the grand finale at the Floyd.
FINALE @ THE FLOYD, SATURDAY, MARCH 11
The Finale at the Floyd will be a one day event (March 11, 2023) at the historic Floyd building (27130 102nd Ave NW, Stanwood, WA). We expect a large crowd of over 1,000 people to enjoy the event. The Floyd Hall will be a visual feast including the following:
- A gallery showcasing a painting by each vintage artist
- Two lectures and a panel discussion exploring watercolor and the artistic calling
- Plenty of time to rub shoulders with the vintage artists, including book signings
- Watercolor demonstrations by the vintage artists
- A painting station for emerging watercolorists and kids
- Release of the Vintage Watercolorists of Washington coffee table book
- Premier of the Vintage Watercolorists of Washington documentary
- A “pop up” store to “get started” in watercolor with instructional books, watercolor supplies and more
