The San Francisco Bay Area landmark, old airship Hangar One at the former Naval Air Station Moffett, has a different look these days as the outside panels come off.
The first Great Moffett Paint Out, sponsored by the Moffett Field Historical Association and Museum, is now scheduled for the weekend of September 17-18, 2011, from 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day on the grounds of the historic Navy base. We had such an incredible response from local plein air painting clubs--more than fifty artists have responded so far--we decided on a two-day event.
I also thought we would get the most publicity that way: the museum is open Saturdays, so the painters will be introduced to the museum that day. And Sundays are the highest viewing days of the week for TV news--so if we can get on the news that day it would be great. Thus, I figured, a two-day event would benefit us all.
