Own a unique keepsake tintype photograph of you, your friends
and/or your family made by Ray Bidegain Saturday, August 9,
during the Portland Art Museum's Plein Aire Paint Out. This is a
fundraising event for the Museum's Photography Council and a unique
experience in portraiture!

Ray and assistant Greg Bell will set up a complete wet-plate photography studio
and darkroom near the Southwest Park Avenue entrance to the Museum's
sculpture court from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Each unique, hand-made 4x5-inch
likeness is just $40.00.

Come and participate in an event that is as much performance art as it is
photography and walk away with an "instant print" that will last
for generations!

Funds raised by the Photography Council are used to purchase
photographic works for the Museum's photography collection.
