Out of the Box Challenge

THANK YOU ARTISTS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL CREATIONS!

22 boxes were turned in -- and they're pretty awesome! Very creative! We took one picture of each box (so can't really see EVERY side well). Pictures will be posted on our blogspot ... hopefully by Monday. Check them out at www.severeartchallenge.blogspot.com
(note: severe - not sevier)

They've been placed around the valley. We'll be picking them back up from these places (FOR YOU - please don't YOU pick them up!) May 4 to exhibit them at the artist's dinner the night of May 4 and to remain on display for the remainder of the ARTSHOW May 5, 6, and 7. Please pick up your boxes at 3:00 p.m, Saturday, May 7 at the art "pickup" (after the show is over).

THANKS AGAIN for making our 30TH ANNUAL COMMISSIONER'S ART SHOW better than ever this year. Your "Out of the Box" Challenge creations are TERRIFIC!!

Check the Reaper (April 20) to see if the picture the Reaper reporter took of your boxes (last Friday) got in the paper ....

Just a few reminders, please read carefully so that you know what to do.

- Remember that you need to pick one piece that you would like to go into the 18 month calendar, and bring it in to Kevin’s office on April 1st from 10:00 to 2:00.
- We will need to know how many pieces you have been able to complete when you bring in your piece.
- You are responsible for framing any art piece that you would like to sell. You also need to decide on your other pieces, how you want them displayed and then be sure you have what you need to do so.
- Bring in all your pieces when you bring in your art work for the show, Tuesday May 3, 1:00 to 4:00.
- A 4x6 standing grid area is available for each artist with about 7 hangers. We have some wooden easels available also, if you will let us know how many you need on April 1st. If you need table space please let us know then also.

We will have official invites for you to get and pass out at the sign in table on Entry Day.

Thanks for all your hard work these ‘30’ weeks.
