We hope you have reserved the Mother's Day weekend, May 7-9, and plan to join us again this year. You will recall that this event was named in memory of Nancy Alm, who was a past president & active member of ESAL, a wonderful watercolorist, and friend, until her death. PLEASE NOTE IMPORTANT DATES

Last year, ESAL was pleased to be able to offer event t-shirts at a minimal price, with ESAL picking up all other expenses. This year, we are again offering event t-shirts (pale green with Nancy Alm's painting of violets printed); however, we must collect the full cost. We hope everyone will order this year's beautiful t-shirts for themselves as well as for family & friends. Size determines the price. Due to the production time, all t-shirt orders must be received by March 22nd. So, please get your orders in as soon as possible. We will have your t-shirts for you when you check-in at registration on Saturday morning at 8:00am.

ES Artist Opportunities

1. WINTER FRIDAYS  at Onancock School
On the Second Friday of January, February and March, FOS is offering a special opportunity to Artists.

CLICK HERE for the Brochure
CLICK HERE for the Application

2. Tourism Commission prints 125,000 copies of their visitors guide each year.  This year, they want to feature artists on the Eastern Shore.  They will devote a page to the arts and are offering a discount for ad space.  If 16 artists (visual or performing) shore-wide wish to be in the guide, the Tourism Commission is offering a rate of $300 which will be on two additional pages.  This may seem like a lot of money but it may easily generate sales of your art!  I am offering to prepare a notebook binder of the participating artists for use by staffs at the new Welcome Center at the BB-T, Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center and the north VOT Center at New Church.  I will also train the staff by bringing them to various art sales and galleries throughout the Shore so they can send visitors to buy you r art work.  The Guide has generated tremendous media attention off the shore and you can be a part of it.  If you are interested contact Bob Lentz rlentz1@verizon.net or 757-442-4295.
