For the 20th year, The Copley Society of art (Co|So), located at 158 Newbury Street in Boston, will hold its major annual fundraising event: Fresh Paint.

On Sunday, May 4th more than 90 Co|So artists will be capturing some of Boston's most treasured spots. Artists can be found scattered in Back Bay, the waterfront in the North End, on the Esplanade, around Fenway Park, in the Gardens and Common, and near Harvard and MIT.

Artists will bring their fresh works back to the gallery by the end of that day. For the next week, the art will be displayed and silent bids taken at Co|So's gallery at 158 Newbury Street. On Saturday, May 10th between 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., final bidding will take place during a gala party at the gallery.

To silent bid on Fresh Paint works, please fill out a Bid Registration Form and fax to 617-267-9396.

Many art organizations now hold fresh paint-like auctions but Co|So's was one of the first, starting in 1988. The event brings in funds to support innovative exhibitions of emerging and established artists, lectures, scholarships, and outreach programs.

RSVP to the Fresh Paint Gala by filling out an RSVP Card and mailing it to the gallery.
