Wouldn’t it be nice if a local businessman provided space for a free outdoor event where artists and art lovers could gather for a community painting party?

Well that's exactly what happened.  A group of local artists had a pop-up community painting party on the lawn next to the Corner Piazza Restaurant in Eldred, NY, on June 4.  

The completed work has been installed on the railings of the Corner Store in Eldred, NY, and will be there for your viewing pleasure until August 15.  To see some of the creations or for more information CLICK HERE
