• Check-in
  begins at 9:30 am. Please park your car in the Golden Eagle Shopping
  Center located on the left after passing Lakeville Hwy heading West on
  Washington. Upon checking in, you will be assigned an artist number for
  judging and have your canvas stamped. You will also receive a packet
  that will include the following: a card to tape to your easel with
  your number on it (Please DO NOT write your name on this card as you
  will be referred to by number only during the judging process), and an
  artist ballot for making your choices (the artists choose 1st, 2nd, and
  3rd place winners). When you check in, a commissioner will go through
  the contents of the package with you and answer any questions you may
  have.

• Once
  you pick up your packet, you may then unload your car and set up
  anywhere along the turning Basin. Your other options include painting
  at the old train depot along Lakeville or parking in the Parking garage
  located on C Street. These three places are all free unlimited time
  parking. Please refer to the attached map for guidelines on where you
  may paint.

• You may begin painting at 10:00. Please refrain from painting before then. You are welcome to set up your paints.
• Painting
  ends at 4:00 pm. You will have a half an hour to deliver your painting
  and easel to the Theatre District Courtyard. Parking for this event is
  best in the garage. We will have you choose one painting for judging.
  You will need to set up your easel with painting in the designated
  area. Judging will take place at 5 pm.

• Information
  about awards: 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place are decided by the
  artists, the People’s Choice award is decided by the viewing public (we
  will be handing out ballots to the public), and the Cynthia Hipkiss
  Monet award will be selected by Basin Street Management. The
  commissioners will announce the winners once the votes are tallied.

• It’s
  time then to relax enjoy live music, refreshments and hors d’oeuvres.
  There are also two restaurants located in the courtyard. If you’re
  planning a meal you might make reservations ahead of time.

• The
  weather is unpredictable, so make sure you are adequately dressed.
  Bring layers, since you will be there all day. It may be cold in the
  morning, and warm in the afternoon. It can be windy so be able to
  secure your easel.

• You may want to bring sunscreen, wear a hat, or bring an umbrella to shield yourself from the sun.
• Bring food and water.

• Please
  do NOT bring your own work to sell. It will not be allowed. If someone
  expresses interest in buying your painting that day, make arrangements
  outside the event.

• Please bring your own materials for painting.

• You may bring multiple canvases and produce multiple paintings, but you can only submit one for judging.
• All mediums are accepted.
