Academy is located behind the Winking Lizard Tavern along the
Railroad Tracks that follow the Cuyahoga River in the heart of
Peninsula. Peninsula is part of the Cuyahoga Valley National
Park.
Artists should try to visit the website prior to the paintout to
get an idea of the park; painting subjects are varied, all the way
from wetlands to historic buildings, a waterfall, rock ledges,
meadows, a covered bridge...the possibilities are endless! You can
access GPS coordinates on the website; I will also have a printout
of those coordinates on the day of the paintout.

Paintout :
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Critique 3:00 PM - in the museum:
The village would like us to offer a public critique for people
who are interested in learning about plein air painting.
(Have art inside by 2:45 PM so it can start on time)
Description of the paintout:
May 12 is also the Village’s “Spring on
the Farm” event, which is a popular program featuring
old-fashioned games, sheep shearing and other hands on frontier
activities. Volunteers and workers dressed in period attire will
be available for demonstrations all day. During this hands-on day
of fun you can also experience horseradish grating, window
washing, rope making, cordage making and more!
Check the village website :
http://saudervillage.org
Entry Fee :
$9.00 at the door-tell them you are with
OPAS
NO parking fee : (USUALLY $14.00)
Management has agreed to let us have this group rate which is
usually reserved for groups of 20 or more regardless of how many
artists we have participate. This is a great venue because there
is food at an adjacent restaurant available and the Village tells
me we can use some porches or overhangs plus the inside of some of
the shops to paint in if the weather is bad. Shops we could use
are the Cabinet Shop, the Tin Shop, the Pottery Shop, the
Blacksmith Shop and a couple of the buildings in Pioneer
Settlement…the Holdeman Church, the Stuckey home, and the Witmer/Roth.
Also the Museum would be available to paint in and it has tons of
interesting antiques.
Public restrooms.
Lunch : The Barn Restaurant is located adjacent to the
village, and there is a hotel and campground within walking
distance.
