Ferriter Art Expo
This grand art exhibit will feature art by various Ferriters and descendants of Ferriters. We are fortunate to have talent in our genetic and family inheritance! The spotlight will be on the art by two of our talented professional artists: Morgan Ferriter, from Donegal,Ireland, and Robin Baldwin, from Dade City, Florida, USA.
We will also display art from many other artists in the Ferriter extended family. Some of the art will be displayed on days prior to and after this exhibit. But most of it can only be seen (and purchased) during this event. The art will line some of the halls in this hotel ---and there will be an area for art by children of those attending our Ferriter Family Gathering.
Bring your art--but please contact the organizers of this event early on so it can be set up well in advance of the event. We need volunteers for to help with set up (and take down)-- so please help if you can! Frames are discouraged as the weight of the frames will not be supported by our display arrangements and hanging hooks.
There will be a brief presentation and introductions to our spotlight artists, Morgan Ferriter and Robin Baldwin. There will be an auction of an original work that many will want to bid on! Also, Robin Baldwin will paint a portrait of the lucky winner of our 'live art raffle'---to be painted while this event is going on! There will be fun and frivolity, music, great food, and enjoyment of the company present as well as the varied art that is produced by our extended line of Ferriters. Prints of some works will be available for purchase as desired. Please note the following:
- A special area will be set up for display of art by the children. Children are invited to bring their art but do come a bit early to help set up the displays for their art.
- An art auction will take place and there will be a raffle with prizes given out (including the onstage painting of some lucky winner's portrait!)
- Prints will be available for purchase for some of our artists's works.
- Please come in somewhat dressy --but not overly formal attire. Pictures will be taken!
- Finger foods will be served --enough to call this your dinner. Items will include local Salmon on Brown Bread and other delights -- as well as some foods that children may prefer.
- We will also serve bite-size desserts.
- Nonalcoholic Punch, coffee, and tea are included.
- Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase at the bar located just short distance down the hall in the hotel restaurant.
- Note that this is an exhibit of work by Ferriters and those who consider themselves part of the line of Ferriters. Others may be permitted to exhibit their work, but this will be at the discretion of the organizers of this event.
** If you wish to donate a work of art to be auctioned in exchange for admission and also to further the cause of celebrating and spreading the word about The Ferriter Legacy, please contact us by email at ferriterlegacy@gmail.com
