April 22, 2008 – Dartmouth and Westport artists have teamed up to start a new open studio weekend event that emphasizes educating their visitors, in real-life environments by demonstrating their skills, one artist, at one studio, at one time. Consisting of some of the area’s premiere painters, ceramic artists, photographers, jewelers and others, the ART drive emphasize a consistent level of professionalism and quality with some unusual studio venues that are spotted among the area’s coastal villages, lovely farm lands, and seacoast. Taking place on the weekend of August 16 and 17, the ART drive artists will donate a percentage of their sales to The Lloyd Center for the Environment.
Dartmouth resident artists Beverly Carter, Sandra Hall and Deborah Quinn- Munson founded the ART drive to give visitors an opportunity to sample the concentration of creative talent in Dartmouth and Westport. “We believe the ART drive studios will provide the many visitors who want to learn about the art and the artists a great weekend event while visiting our area. We’ll encourage visitors to take the time to drive through the lovely farm lands, seacoast, and enjoy a picnic at the Lloyd Center, Westport Winery and dine at area restaurants.”
With a cap of 25 artists with studios in Dartmouth and Westport, a few slots remain to participate in the tour. For more information, contact one of the founders by the fourth of May, after which all the information will be assembled for the ART drive brochure/poster, website and other promotional materials.
