On

February 17, 2007 the internationally renown artist, Zhiwei Tu, came to

the Mainstreet Art Centre to give a three hour demonstration of

portrait painting. He worked from a live model in 25 minute

sessions, with short breaks during which he answered questions from the

audience. The demonstration was attended by roughly 50

artists. A large number of his books were sold, which Mr. Tu

graciously signed for the purchasers. The finished portrait was

sold at the end of the demonstration by a drawing held between several

interested attendees.
