The Essex PTO is searching for local artists to participate in the second annual Messy Art Night on Friday, Feb. 4th from 5-8pm. Do you know anyone who would enjoy sharing their talent and love of art with kids for an evening? It’s a fantastic event that’s open to the public. I’ve attached a brief summary that you can forward on to people who might be interested. Thanks for the help and I hope you will come to the event. It’s so much fun! — Jess

It is time for the second annual Messy Art Night in Essex on Feb 4th! Last year’s event was a huge success. Over fifteen local artists showed off their work to 150 excited kids and parents, taught them to try new techniques and helped them have fun making their own art. It was amazing! We hope you will join us this year!
We have two goals for the night:
- To publicize the vibrant art world in and around Cape Ann
- To inspire Essex residents to create their own art by trying a variety of artistic mediums and techniques.
This year, Messy Art Night is scheduled Friday, Feb 4th from 5-8pm. All of the festivities will be held in the cafeteria and hallways of Essex Elementary School. We expect 200 people to attend and move freely from station to station talking with artists and trying out a variety of techniques. The price for the evening will be $5 per person, which we expect to cover our costs.
If you would like to participate this year, please let me know before January 14th. Also, if you know of any other artists whom we should invite, please let me know. We would love to expand our offerings! If you have any questions, please feel free to email jyurwitz@gmail.com or call me at 978-768-0142. Thank you for your interest!
