12th Annual Plein Air Paint Out
This year’s event is loaded with great demo’s located throughout New Smyrna Beach, and daily at our pavilion or on site. Our Collector’s Reception will be held at the Brannon Center with a live and silent auction, drawings, and great food. Our Grand Finale will feature our “Blending of the Brushes” and will be held at the AWI studios and under the pavilion. There’s something for everyone’s schedule.
Please review the attached list of positions available. Reply to melissaschwenn@gmail.com with the date, time, and positions you are interested in. Please feel free to volunteer as much as you’d like. We will do our best to put you in the positions requested. Once a schedule is complete, I will send out an email to confirm your volunteer schedule.
I’ve also attached a list of job descriptions to explain the not so obvious positions. Volunteers like you make this event possible!!! We greatly appreciate your consideration. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know as many positions can be flexible.
