The Greater Augusta Arts Council Wet Paint Party is currently set for December 2, 2010 at Sky City.

Member Artists will be able to hang 1 or 2 works of art (depending on the amount of interest). Artists will be able to set the price that they would like for their art work; this is the minimum bid. If the art work sells for above the minimum bid the Arts Council will receive the difference. This means you will get all of what you ask for your work if it sells.

Sky City will be smoke-free for this event.

The event will be free and open to members; this includes the new membership base the Contemporaries.
