1 JUNE 16, 2017 THE PLEIN AIR PAINTERS of the MARITIME GALLERY at MYSTIC SEAPORT For the 21st year in a row, the Maritime Gallery artists will congregate at the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport to paint on the Museum grounds and environs. Following the tradition of the plein air painters of the 19 th and early 20 th centuries, artists can be found at their French easels capturing the shifting light along the Mystic River and also nearby at coastal marshes and beaches. Watch your favorite artists paint en plein air beginning Tuesday, June 20 and continuing through Saturday, June 24 th. The exhibition continues through September 17. Public Opening Reception Saturday, June 24, 2016, 5:30-7:30 p.m. R.S.V.P. Appreciated PARKING DURING THE WOODENBOAT SHOW Once again we are fortunate to have the WoodenBoat Show here at Mystic Seaport June 30 July 2. If all goes as planned, and the weather cooperates, we expect to fill the North and South parking lots to capacity during the three days of the Show. Because of the need to accommodate a considerable number of vendors, as well as the increase in visitation during this event, we ask that staff and volunteers refrain from parking in the North and South parking lots during the Show. Please make use of parking in the Administration and Labaree lots, as well as the parking at 90 Greenmanville Ave.( HR office). The alternate parking previously mentioned will not accommodate all of our staff and volunteers working during the WoodenBoat Show. We need everyone s help to make the show a success and ask all to use imaginative ways to avoid parking in our main lots. Carpool, bicycle, kayak, walk, or park at a friend s, every space available to our guests is to our advantage in having a successful show. There is no parking allowed on the adjacent side streets. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and is crucial to making this event a success.
