Gallery - Day #2

Day #2 at the Gallery

So, yesterday we painted with primer, today we painted with white paint. It still needs one more coat to make it look nice. So, please could anyone help to donate the paint?

Art guild has an account with Sherwin-Williams store in Forest City, phone is: 828-245-6451. We need 4 of one-gallon buckets to do touch-ups. Please help to donate paint!!!

As a guild we have 40% discount, so one bucket is no more than $14. When you go to store to purchase it, don't forget to tell them that you are buying it for Visual Arts Guild, or mention Linda McGregor's name. The paint (I am copying specifications from label) is for interior, latex, flat, 6385 DOVER WHITE (Sher-Color formula), one gallon extra white. Thank you very much for your help.

Also, we are going to be working at the Gallery pretty much everyday from 10am till .... please stop by or call Sandy or Linda to see how you can help us to get this gallery of the ground. Thank you to everyone.
