There is still time to register for the Second Annual High Bridge Paint Out, taking place next month on October 12th. Last year's event was a big success, and the town hopes that it can make the Paint Out grow and grow. This year, cash prizes for the top three prize winners have increased (thanks to good sales during the auction), and next year there are hopes to bring in vendors in an attempt, according to coordinator Michele Schwartz, to continue to make this event as artist-friendly as possible.

From the High Bridge Paint Out press release:
After its highly successful inaugural appearance in 2012, the High Bridge Paint Out is returning this Fall with much anticipation. Throughout the day, artists will be scattered around town capturing the historic charm and natural beauty that High Bridge has to offer in the media of their choice. Later in the evening the public is invited to see their finished works on display in a juried competition at the Borough Commons Park. Artwork will also be offered for sale in a silent auction. Live music and light refreshments will be available. Plein air artist Aida Birritteri will return as one of our judges this year, and will be joined by artist Jamie Lindholm owner of The Martinsville Studio. If you’re an artist and would like to participate, the registration form and prospectus can be downloaded from the Borough’s website under the Document and Forms section. If you’re a collector or just appreciate art, mark your calendars so you don’t miss this fine event.
