Pro Panel system for sale
The Pro Panel system is a fast and easy way to display art, exhibits and presentations. It is simple to set up and tear down. Plus, it’s incredibly flexible to accommodate a variety of different booth designs. Both sides are finished and are usable hanging space. Each panel connects to the next with the provided strap fasteners that wrap around the upper and lower legs, allowing you to hinge in any direction.
This system consists of 10 medium gray panels, good for indoor or outside shows. Since the panels have adjustable legs for uneven terrain and can be setup to fit neatly inside a 10 by 10 foot canopy, the system is great to use inside and out. When taken apart, all the panels can be stacked one on top of each other to form a stack only 13 inches tall.
• 9 regular panels – 38 x 84 inches
• 1 half panel – 24 x 84 inches
• Hardware for assembling and hanging framed artwork is included.
These panels have been bought directly from the manufacturer in Texas and they are like new, having been used 3 times only.
Asking $1400.00.
Visit the manufacturer’s website for more info and photos : http://www.propanels.com/panels
Please email or call if interested. The panels are located in Moncton but delivery can be arranged.

PAINT SEA ON SITE – REMINDERS for 2016
Paint Sea On Site – Lunenburg Community Centre – July 16th and 17th
Registration is now open. Please contact Christine at the Lunenburg Art Gallery (902)640-4044 or drop into the gallery to sign up as soon as possible.
The registration fee is $25.00, which includes two light breakfasts (coffee and muffins), bagged lunches on both days and a “Mix and Mingle” Reception on Saturday as soon as the auction closes. (approximately 5:00 pm)
When you register, please let Christine know if you plan to attend the Saturday Mix and Mingle Reception and if you have any food allergies or sensitivities.
Children’s registration is $10.00 and includes a basic painting kit, a 30 minute art lesson, a yellow Paint Sea on Site ball cap and cookies! There are two sessions on Saturday 16th, morning and afternoon. An adult must accompany young children when they go out to paint. For more information, call Susan Beavan at: (902)766-0126.
This year, by popular request, we will only have ball caps for paid participating adults and children. If you have a t-shirt from a previous year, please wear it.
PLEASE NOTE: Artists may begin painting on Saturday morning and go on until Sunday afternoon finishing this year at 3.30pm on both days. This is in the best interest of the artists as it gives the bidders more time to peruse and bid on paintings, NO work will be accepted after 3.30pm.
SECONDLY – THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT: Please do not bring in any previously completed paintings. This is an unfair advantage over artists who paint on the allocated days. All work displayed must be done on the 16th and 17th of July. We ask that all artists write PSOS on the back of their paintings when they bring them in.
There are artists who like to paint early on Saturday morning and register a little later and this is fine.
Thank you so much for all your support for The Lunenburg Art Gallery, year after year.
We look forward to welcoming you all back to our non-profit Lunenburg Art Gallery’s largest annual fundraiser.
