Paint the Point!
Paint the Point! is an exhibition of artwork by the participants of the Otsego Land Trust’s plein-air painting event at Brookwood Point in Cooperstown, New York in conjunction with the Cooperstown Art Association. The Otsego Land Trust organized this event for weekend of July 15th & 16th to bring visibility to one of the many beautiful public lands they manage in Otsego County. The goal was to draw interest to the area through a weekend long event that resulted in 26 plein-air artists convening on Brookwood Point and painting at their leisure while the public was welcome to come and enjoy and view the area alongside them. All participating artists were also given the opportunity to display and sell their work at the Cooperstown Art Association to further celebrate “Paint the Point” and share their work with the public.
Potentially Participating Artists exhibiting in Paint the Point include Margo Armstrong, Beth Ashbaugh, Mashaal Bhatti, Shirley Clark, Karen Cook, Karen Cooper, Marieanne Coursen, Katherine Dobler, Ken Garvin, Lois Holz, Julie Huntsman, George Hymas, Sofia Ingalls, Claire Jensen, Andre Jones, Linda Kosmer, Abbey Koutnik, Joanne Lentner, Aidan Nolan, Catherine Nolan, Jennifer Politano, David Sanford, Kate Sullivan, Bruce Testa, Elisabeth Weyer, and Rae Zysman.
The Cooperstown Art Association Galleries are located at 22 Main St. in the Village Hall, on the Corner of Main & Fair Street in Cooperstown. For more information contact us at 607-547-9777. www.cooperstownart.com
