Local internationally acclaimed artist, Kim Diment’s painting of the Kirtland Warbler was last year’s featured painting for the Watershed Art Project’s (WAP) mystery mural. Grayling’s art patrons, with help from WAP artists and partners, contributed to the piece by finishing a 12x12 inch “mystery” tile that was later unveiled (with names of each participant engrave on a plaque) for the Grayling community and visitors to enjoy. This art piece is framed and hung on the Sounds and Signals (Radio Shack) building downtown Grayling.

The Watershed Art Project is preparing for the 2nd annual mystery mural painting to take place downtown Grayling on October 3rd, 2009 from 10-4 (please note changes from previous flyers) in collaboration with the Fall Harvest Fest and Tractor Show. Tables and art “coaches” will be set up in front of Winner’s Circle Art Gallery and tiles will be available to paint. WAP is asking for a donation of $5.00 for participation. The donations will be used to support WAP future events. J. Dap Gift Shoppe offered to feature this 2nd masterpiece and it will be framed and hung on the side of their building. The unveiling will be during the annual Christmas Walk scheduled for November 21, 2009.

Please return downtown the evening of October 3rd and be entertained by “Folk n’ Fingers” featuring J.B. Davies and Dan House for an evening of acoustic finger-style guitar, folk music and just plain fun. This will be held at Winner’s Circle Gallery and Apollo’s Lyre, starting at 7pm. Part of the proceeds will be gifted to the Watershed Art Project.
