sharing the joy
I had a wonderful lunch hour in Hammondsport enjoying the Palette's. I have mentioned them before but for those of you that don't know.... about 50 artists each paint a palette povided by the Chamber of Commerce and they are displayed around the village and the lake all summer in front of businesses. Each one has a letter posted by it. You can make it a day trip, travel around the lake see all the great art and collect the letters. If you get them all and put them together into the secret phrase you can win prizes. At the end of the summer, the Chamber auctions them off and the artist gets half of the sale price. I have only made it to see about ten so far. This is my second year participating. I've already posted it but my palette is the last one shown in this post. Enjoy!
Sorry about my finger showing....

That's a great idea -- and yours is absolutely splendid. What fun to walk around and see how different each one is from the others!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to promote the town. Gets people all over to the different shops and also promotes all those artists, too. Nice job! :)
ReplyDeleteLove these palettes! Wish they would do something like this in my town. Maybe I could suggest it! Lots of artists around here. Thanks for sharing!
