Thursday May 14, 6 p.m., Oil painting demonstration by this year's juror Zufar Bikbov. Bikbov's main focus will be on plein air painting. Classically trained in art and medicine he came to the United States from Russia in 2004. He states, "I love to work with oils, which allow me to be flexible and deeply expressive."
Wednesday, May 20, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Guilford Poets Guild will share original poems inspired by selected artworks from the show. This is always a special event for poets, artists and appreciators of both.
