Whether you're an artist or a community

organization, paint outs offer a wonderful

package of fun, interactive entertainment.

Everyone wants to experience creativity in the

making. A successful Paint Out promotes artists

and sells paintings, bringing income and profit for

artists and organizations alike.

This guide provides step by step practical

instructions for every single detail of the Paint

Out planning process. Everything from selecting

the artists, to selling wet canvases.

The appendix materials are worth the purchase

price all by themselves: sample letters to artist,

ad rates, catalog page layouts, and all the forms

we use to put on our own Paint Outs.
