For the third year in a row, the Madison Artists Guild participated in the City's Firefly Festival at Town Park by staging a Twilight Paint Out. Guild members Sam Traina, Wendy Adams and Cheryl Whitestone set up their easels and documented the festivities Friday and Saturday evening. The Guild also had a large tent which housed other paintings and prints by the 3 painters. The paintings that were created during the Firefly were sold at silent auction and several paintings sold.
This year, in addition to the Twilight Paint Out, the Guild offered a Kooky Craft Tent under which the kids who attended on Friday evening could paint and create Glow Worm Goggles or Firefly Wands. MAG members who participated in the fun were Rita Knight, Louise Lauderdale, Marjean Meadow, Martha Lower, Lisa Hamilton, Stacey Lewis and Janet Mason. As night descended on Town Park the Kooky Creations turned on the park as kids ran around showing off their glowing goggles and wands. It was hard to pack up at 9 because more and more kids wanted to score on a pair!
Thanks to all the helpers, painters and especially to Pete Muzyka who captured it all on "film"!
