Private Birthday Party with Painted Placemats

A Painting Party to Remember
Last Friday night, one of our fine Artascope Studio teachers, Libby Barrett, hosted a private birthday party making decorative painted placemats. The party goers have been celebrating one of their birthdays with a fun activity each month of the year together! What a fun way to celebrate yourself and your friends all year long!

Libby's October birthday bash was a huge success. She taught everyone how to use latex and acrylic paint to create their painted placemat. Then showed them how to play with stencils, stamps and fun tools to create their personal decorative touches. They even tried out some experimental materials like bubble wrap. I think the end results are absolutely gorgeous! Happy birthday to you all!

Call for Donations

Calling All Artist!
We are looking for local artists to donate some of your work to help our neighbors get through the winter. Artascope Studios has worked hard every year to collect donations for the Crisis Ministries Fund of South Portland and Cape Elizabeth with our holiday sale raffle and events throughout the year. This year we are taking it one step further to create our 2008 Silent Auction.

100% of all our proceeds will go to the community. All art donations will go to help our neighbors with the cost of heating oil, clothing, groceries, housing, utility bills, repairs, furnishings and medical bills. There are over 800 families that have been helped through the Crisis Ministries of South Portland and Cape Elizabeth since 2008. We look forward to helping out many more.
