5 Artists of the Month

• Artist of the Month info: Keshia Pearman, Edith Acton, Jonathan Harris, Bill Wolfe and Michael Ries are the 'Artists of the Month for August' and will have several pieces of their art displayed at the Vigo County Public Library. Along with the exhibit at the library, each artist gets to have an article in The Tribune Star about their work. In order to be considered for Artist of the Month, your dues must be paid. Please read further info below to find out how to be invovled in Artist of the Month.

Artist of the Month Information

Ruthann Brady

Ruthann would like to let everyone know what she is hoping to accomplish with 'Artists of the Month' articles. She can also explain what you need to do to get invovled.

Each artist may hang two pieces and information about the painting/work at the side. The person you will be contacting at the library is the Community Services Director Chris Shellenberg. Have your exhibits at the library a day or two in advance of the first of the month; and at that time learn when to return to retrieve your art.

If you know ahead of time that you cannot, for whatever reason, be the 'Artist of the Month,' Please contact Ruthann in plenty of time to get someone else. Ruthann may be reached at 812-235-5759 or email at rbrady at verizon dot net. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

September:              Karen LeVan and Leigh Schinaia

If your name is coming up soon, please contact Ruthann and confirm that you will be participating in the "Artist of the Month," this will help her immensely.
