Art & About 2022: Jim White Memorial Paint Out

   Artists in Action in Waterville on 

June 16, 17, and 18 

Have you ever had the opportunity to watch an artist in action? Now is your chance at the annual Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission event - Art and About 2022: Jim White Memorial Paint Out. This is the ninth annual plein air (open air) event sponsored by AWAAC and it will be held in downtown Waterville on June 16, 17 and 18.  


Art and About is a three-day event that invites talented, local artists to set up and paint outdoors throughout the historic city. The public is invited to watch the artists paint and interact with them as they work. Art & About is a free family-friendly event which gives the public an opportunity to see these talented artists in action.  


People wishing to view artists as they work may find their locations by visiting 3rd Street Blooms between 9:00 and 11:00.

 Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission members will be there to share the locations of artists. Artists’ locations will also be noted on the AWAAC Facebook page.   


While you are exploring Waterville be sure stop in to see “Portraits of a City”, an exhibit of the art of the Waterville Historical Society at Wakeman Hall, 401 Farnsworth Rd. The exhibit will be open June 16, 17 and 18 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Numerous paintings will be on display by such talented artists as Jim White, Walter Chapman, Robert Stearns, David Myerholtz, and more.

 

Paintings from the Art & About event will be on display in the Waterville Branch Library, 800 Michigan Ave., from June 18 through

 July 4. The public is invited to stop in and view the work then cast their votes for the People’s Choice award.   


Monetary awards will be given for first, second, third places and the People’s Choice award. This year’s juror is Teri Bersee, former owner of Bountiful Arts Studio in Waterville where she provided art classes for children and adults, which she maintained for ten years. Teri is well respected as an artist and instructor, maintaining a local and regional presence with her artwork, and now adding national level competitions.   


Sponsors and supporters for this year’s event include Waugh Consulting LLC, Per Diem Nurse Staffing and Home Care, Mad Anthony’s Tavern, Waffle Dog Artisan Co-op, Waterville Library, and 3rd Street Blooms.   


Art & About has taken place for nine years and was renamed in 2017 to honor local artist, Jim White. Jim, a very talented artist who always painted in this event, passed away on February 10, 2017. A commercial artist by trade, Jim enjoyed creating landscapes and portraits in both oil paint and charcoal. He won many awards for his work over the years including first place and People’s Choice awards at past Art & About events. During the paint out he often encouraged on-looking children to take his brush and add some color to his painting. Many of his paintings sport children’s signatures next to his own.  


Artists who are interested in painting in this year’s Art & About event or those with questions, are encouraged to contact Lisa Exner at lisaexner23@gmail.com prior to the event.
