OOPS September Paint Out (2 Days... September 14 and 15, 2013) celebrating our annual International Worldwide Paint Out

 

Dear OOPS artists... Make plans to attend this COOL Worldwide Paint Out event. As usual, this will be our September OOPS Paint Out... with so many members east of us it only made sense to accommodate them and participate in the Wilmington/Southport area. We can organize a car pool system via email to make travelling easier.
