Camp Fire USA Paint Out

Start date: Thursday, October 15, 2009
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, October 18, 2009

Camp Fire will host the second annual Camp Fire USA Paint Out, a four-day family event at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden on October 15-18. Admission is free, and attendees can watch nearly 40 artists from across the state create original works of art in an outdoor setting.

The artists will paint from 8 a.m. to dusk on October 15, 16 and 17; on October 18, a Quick Draw Competition will be held at 9 a.m., where artists create paintings in 2 ½ hours. All paintings will be available for pre-bidding at the event and for final bidding at An Artists’ Christmas on November 14. Guests will also have the opportunity to test their artistic skills at an interactive painting station.

The Paint Out culminates with a Champagne Artists Reception and Auction October 18 at noon. Tickets are required for this event and may be purchased by contacting Maren Gibbs at (817) 831-2111 x167 or Maren@CampFireFW.org.
