2009 SDP/Smithsonian Ornament Project

www.decorativepainters.org - SDP Website for information

 

You are invited to join us as the Society of Decorative Painters helps the Smithsonian Institute/Museum of Art – Renwick Gallery decorate its annual Christmas Tree.  Ornament Packets will include detailed instructions and more information regarding the selection of paintings that Artists must draw from.

 

Artists may use the medium of their choice provided they use the wood ornament provided in the packet. Artists must be a member of the Society of Decorative Painters. Ornaments will be distributed on a first come-first serve basis with one ornament per artist.  The ornaments are wood rectangles about 3" x 5" from Walnut Hollow.

 

Any country many participate.  Ornaments will be juried by the Smithsonian to insure compliance with their  requirements.

 

The remaining ornaments will be on display at SDP Headquarters in  Wichita, KS.  

The object of the project is to create present-day decorative art reinterpretations of the paintings featured in the Renwick Gallery's Grand Salon.  If you would like to view the seventy works in the Renwick Gallery, visit   http://www.flickr.com/photos/americanartmuseum/sets/72157618150411546/
