It’s time to Paint the Town! As part of the Reading 375 Anniversary Celebrations this spring, local artists, from grade 6 through adult, are invited to submit an original two-dimensional work of art that illustrates the life and times of our vibrant, historic town. The art can depict anything that captures the essence of Reading from the past or present.
So sharpen those pencils, and brush off those paint brushes. This is a wonderful opportunity for local students and adults to display their art publicly while celebrating Reading’s 375th anniversary.
Paint the Town Artwork will be displayed around town at various venues from May 31 – June 15 as part of the Reading 375 celebrations. An opening reception will be held Wednesday, June 5 at the Pleasant Street Center.
For full details on submitting a work of art, and a registration form, see reading375.com, and click on “Paint the Town.” A photograph of your artwork with dimensions, title, and time period must be submitted by email to reading375paintthetown@gmail.com by May 1.
