*On May 14, 2011 eighty-five selected artists will choose their favorite 
location on the banks of the Hudson River or somewhere in the Hudson 
Valley, and paint until late afternoon. When the artists return to the 
Art Center, their paintings will be hung in the preview room until the 
auction begins at 5:00 PM, ending by 7:00 PM. There is no better way to 
experience the beauty of a spring day on the Hudson River. Please join 
us for refreshments at 3:30 PM while you view the freshly painted artwork.

This bi-annual fundraiser has been a signature event at Garrison Art 
Center since 1969. It brings artists to the Hudson Valley for a day of 
painting and creating, in a variety of media, au plein air at a location 
of their choice. The newly created works of art are available for 
purchase the same evening, under an auction tent on the riverside behind 
Garrison Art Center. In conjunction with the Artists on Location Live 
Auction, Garrison Art Center holds a Silent auction of previously 
completed work by the same artists. It is exhibited in the galleries for 
one week following the live auction event. *
