21 in Truro at Highfield
Join us for Historic Highfield's major fundraiser for 2008 as we welcome an outstanding group of Cape Cod artists to Highfield Hall. Known as "21 in Truro," this unique group of artists gathers every year in the seaside town of Truro to inspire and motivate each other to generate their unique forms of artistic expression.  Additionally, this year some members of the group are journeying to Cornwall, England to paint in Falmouth, Truro and Penzance, while other members will be painting in Falmouth and on Penzance Point here on Cape Cod.  Works created during the year by these outstanding artists, will be on display, and for sale, in the Highfield galleries throughout September and October.  Fifty-percent of the sales revenue will be donated to Historic Highfield, Inc. for the ongoing operation and preservation of Highfield Hall. Additional "21 in Truro" programs to be held in September and October. A painting, donated by one of the "21" artists, will be raffled off as well: raffle tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20 and are available September 6 - October 15, with the drawing to be held on October 15.
