EL DORADO COUNTY
PAINT OUT
May 18th
Paint anywhere in El Dorado County and be part of an exhibit at Art Space Gallery in Placerville.
Save the date – Saturday, May 18 – for a plein air event co-sponsored by EDAC and PAA, and scheduled
to coincide with May’s third Saturday Placerville art walk. Artists will check-in at EDAC in the morning to
receive a placard to display on their easels then disperse for a day of painting anywhere in El Dorado
county. Bring your paintings back to EDAC for display in the gallery and mingle with other artists and the
public. Your paintings should be attached to some sort of rigid support so that they can be displayed on
easels. After the May 18 event the paintings will remain on display at EDAC for the rest of the month.
EDAC is working with the county to further display the paintings at the county building where we hold
our member shows. Showing at the county, however, is optional as the paintings need to be framed at
that point. This promises to be not only a fun even but a good sales opportunity. We need volunteers
to help the morning of May 18 for the artists’ check-in. If you’re interested, please call Kaaren Poole at
530 672-0943 or PAA coordinator for this event, Vesla Greenwood, at (530) 303-3258.
This is our first joint event with EDAC and we hope that you all will enjoy it!

GOLD COUNTRY ARTISTS GALLERY
Gold Country Artists Gallery is having a month-long special show in May entitled, "The Wakamatsu Art Show." In March, 2013, artists from Gold Country Artists Gallery fanned out over the American River Conservancy's Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony grounds to begin the process of creating various pieces of art from the views on that wonderful piece of property.
The result was a collaboration between the great folks of the American River Conservancy and Gold Country Artists Gallery and the production of many pieces of artwork that will be on display and for sale at Gold Country during the entire month of May, 2013, and at the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony Farm Festival on Saturday, May 18.
In addition to The Wakamatsu Art Show, Gold Country will be featuring two artists during the month of May: Linda Soos and her stained glass and the photography of Soroush, with a reception for them on the Third Saturday evening in May (May 18).
GCA hopes you come by the Gallery and see these great pieces of art during the month of May and consider attending the Farm Festival at Wakamatsu on Saturday, May 18, and attending the Third Saturday ArtWalk on the evening of May 18 on Main Street in Placerville.
