BLUE HILL — Nearly 70 artists, carrying blank canvases and paint boxes, will leave their homes in the wee hours and scatter across the Blue Hill Peninsula on July 21.
“Paint the Peninsula 2012,” a fund-raiser staged for the second year by the Blue Hill Public Library, is an intensive happening in which painters finish their plein-air creations by midday and bring their still-wet canvases in the early afternoon to the library.
As the artwork spills in, from Deer Isle to Ellsworth, the library will become a gigantic art gallery. Art patrons can check out the fresh works while they are eating hors d’oeuvres and listening to jazz pianist Scott Cleveland, in preparation for the silent auction running from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Winning bids will be announced at that time so that paintings can be paid for and hung in their new homes by dinnertime! Participating artists are donating at least 50 percent of the proceeds to the library. For more details, call the library: 374-5515.
