ART AT THE GILFILLAN FARM
ART AT THE GILFILLAN FARM
2026
I am leaving this information (below) posted as I believe the McMurray Art League in conjunction with the Upper Saint Clair Historical Society is planning a repetition of last years event. Please ignore the dates (if you see any) as they will change. I think they are going to schedule me for a one day, en plein air workshop....I will keep you posted as I get new info!
Gilfillan Farm, RT.19 across from South Hills Village
Dates have been set and registration is now open
The following is a description of the activities scheduled for the Gilfillan Farm, please go to the McMurray Art League website for complete details of the workshops and materials lists and registration ..... www.mcmurrayartleague.org
There you can purchase tickets to tour the properties and observe the artists or as an artist, you may chose to paint on the property singularly, or join one of the two workshops being offered.
Painting at historical Gilfillan Farm (not generally open to the public)
by permission of the Upper St. Clair Historical Society, open to all artists who may not be interested in taking either of the workshops but who would like the opportunity to paint on this unique property for a very small donation fee to the Society. (You must register to participate) This will be followed, on Saturday evening with your paintings being displayed to the public, (and for sale if you like) flyers are being distributed. There will also be food, drink and music for the event Sat evening. It should be noted that the public is invited to tour the properties while the painters are actively painting, giving opportunity for them to see how artists work.
Dates: Painting days ...Display of paintings:
Once again, you must register with the McMurray Art League to participate in this exclusive event.....Hope to see you there!!!
What I teach: Composition, composition, composition ...... can I say more?
