Art & Open Space

With the summer here at last we’re grateful to be outside again and as development gobbles up a little more real estate each year, the protected open space around us becomes more precious than ever.

 

To honor these sacred places in my heart 50% of my proceeds from painting sales through the end of August will go to the Hill-Stead Museum and The Farmington Land Trust for the contributions they make to our communities through art and open space.  

 

In addition, you have an opportunity to win this 11"x14" oil painting, “Spring View” by donating $10 or more to either (or both!) the Hill-Stead or the Farmington Land Trust. To enter this giveaway simply write a check payable to either The Hill-Stead or The Farmington Land Trust and mail it before August 31 to: Clatter Valley Studio, 74 Prattling Pond Road, Farmington, CT 06032. You'll receive one entry for every $10 you give. A $50 donation, for example, earns five entries.

 

Include a note with your email address to receive results of the random drawing, to be held on September 5.

 

I am also accepting donations via Venmo to @KateEmeryArt. Include your email address and "Open Space and Art" in a note.

 

I will pass all contributions along to Hill-Stead and The Farmington Land Trust. Whether you give $10, $100, or more, you’ll help support these great organizations. “They give so much to our community through the open space we enjoy,” says Emery. “These havens for our hearts and souls, not to mention the the wild creatures they support, are a big part of what makes the Farmington Valley so special.”
