NSAA Color Sketch, by Jody Regan

Last year, North Shore Arts Association invited a busload of enthusiastic painters from the South Shore of Boston to spend a day of plein air painting here in Gloucester. New friends were made and much fun was had by all!
The event proved to be so successful that the South Shore painters are reciprocating this year inviting North Shore painters to a day of painting around Cohasset Harbor, with a welcoming reception in the morning and afternoon wrap up reception at the South Shore Art Center.

COST: $40. is NON-REFUNDABLE and includes round-trip transportation. Learn all the best secret painting spots on the South Shore and meet a whole new group of painting partners. The camaraderie and fun of the bus trip alone is worth the cost of the trip!

SPACE IS LIMITED SO RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW by contacting NSAA's North Shore Coordinator, Judythe Evans Meagher ( jemeagher@comcast.net )
