Art Tank to host Third Annual Day of Demos
Professional artists will offer tips and tricks at pop-up art event
Nineteen professional artists from The Fine Art Collective will converge at The Collective Art Tank in Asbury Park on Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the third-annual Day of Demos event, according to a company news release.
The full-day art extravaganza, previously a sold-out success, will offer attendees complimentary art product demonstrations from various North American artists focused on water-based mediums, tips and techniques for using signature as well as yet-to-be released art supplies, and free raffles throughout the day.
Products to be used during the day include, but are not limited to: Winsor & Newton’s limited edition Desert Collection Watercolors, currently available in retail stores; Winsor & Newton’s Watercolor Sticks and Markers, to be released for retail on July 1, 2014; all viscosities of Liquitex colors including soft body, heavy body, inks, sprays and markers as well as fluid, gel and texture mediums.
Spotlighting the mobility of the Day of Demos’ pop-up art demonstrations, the Sketchbook Project, a Brooklyn-based, crowd-sourced library of more than 30,900 artists’ sketchbooks, will be on-site and will field inquiries from attendees regarding its project and present opportunities to become involved.
“The Day of Demos showcases the power that art has to bring a community together. With a simple paintbrush and a piece of paper, an artist can incite change anywhere in the world,” said Jimmy Leslie, resident artist at Liquitex and director of The Fine Art Collective. “Through the generous support of Winsor & Newton, Liquitex and Conté à Paris, the artists of The Fine Art Collective will prove the simplicity of this concept while demonstrating techniques and products that are vital to an artist’s advancement.”
Registration for the free event is highly encouraged and open to the public. The first 150 event registrants will receive a complimentary swag bag of products, compliments of the three sister-brand companies. Click here to register.
Located at 529 Bangs Avenue in downtown Asbury Park, The Collective Art Tank is a street-front studio space also sponsored by Winsor & Newton, Liquitex and Conté à Paris that offers local artists a free space to work and teach classes.
