How many of you are still looking for the perfect gift? Have you considered the gift of Art? A photograph or photograph session of a loved one is a way to get the portrait you would like to have on display. It is more expedient, because to do an oil painting would require time for the paints to cure on the canvas. Although you may consider a watercolor or acrylic portrait, however time is tight. Instead consider looking at a local artist’s work that may be on display at the local Library, business office or restaurant. You may find something that will suit your needs of the perfect gift. Better yet contact us at 215 393 9110 or e-mail us at info@northpennarts.org and we may be able to put you in touch with a local artist.
Maybe your loved one has been looking for art classes, well we can help.
