Leave Your Mark on the St. Anthony's Festival for Years to Come!
This year the an area of the festival will be transformed into the "Streets of Venice". Renowned local artist Dana Pyle has contributed his time and talent by creating a comprehensive design and diorama of the shops and venues filling the square (Piazza). The festival needs an artist/draftsperson to draw the mural designs onto the painter's cloth that students can then "paint by number" according to the design. There are approximately 13 panels, ranging from 10' X 16" to 6' X 10". Each panel has been drawn to scale by the artist Dana Pyle, and all materials will be provided. If you are interested, please contact Lisa Hemphill at (302)652-1682. Please leave a call back number.
