IPAPA has decided to collaborate with Indiana Landmarks on some paint-out opportunities to help promote the release of our new book and the show opening on September 20, 2013.

Landmarks and their field and regional offices hold special events called a Moveable Feast each year as a method of highlighting historical locations and to raise funds.  IPAPA has agreed to participate this year with paint-outs held in conjunction with the events.  Participation is open to all, but we would like to know who will be participating.  This is a wonderful opportunity to garner additional recognition and support for the launch of our new book.

IPAPA has volunteered to promote the book and the September 20 show opening by hosting paint-outs this summer. Indiana Landmarks regional offices are holding an event calledMoveable Feast and we are looking for artists to paint at the site of these Moveable Feasts.  I hope you can sign up to be a part of the feasts.

At this time, we are aware of five Movable Feast dates:

• June 28 - Tiffany Tolbert from the Hobart field office has a moveable feast in Merrillville at the Boyd House.
• July 20 - Todd Zeigler from the north office will have their movable feast at Lake Winona in Warsaw.
•  July 26 - Greg Sekula from the south office will have their moveable feast at the Fairmont House in Madison, Indiana.
• August 3 -  Tommy Klecker will have part of their moveable feast in Bloomington at the  Historic Ben Owens Farmstead – 4595 N. Maple Grove Rd, Bloomington IN  47404
• September 19  – Eastern Office – Huddleston House in Cambridge City.

Please let me know by return email if you can participate in any of these events.

Send your return email to IPAPA or to wisselbill@gmail.com.
