Member Appreciation Dinner 2024
The Member Appreciation Dinner at the Osterneck Auditorium on Thursday, October 24th, was a wonderful success! We had a full house, dinner was great – Thank you so much, Smithfield Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q for the dinner and Jamie Locklear for the beautiful cakes! We had plenty of room and enjoyed meeting new friends as well. Thank you to everyone that came and participated. We are looking forward to the new year!
We shared the plans for upcoming classes, events, and distributed the new Planning Schedule for exhibitions thru 2025. If you are curious about the new Exhibition Committee, plan now to join us for the next Volunteers Lunch & Share. We’ll be meeting Thursday, November 21 – a week earlier than normal as the last Thursday is Thanksgiving Day! For some reason no one wants to meet then.

Awards for Fall Into Winter Exhibition!
Even with Hurrican Helene coming our way, the artists got their entries into the Art Guild and Paul Van Zandt had an excellent array of artwork to consider as he judged the Fall Into Winter Exhibition on Friday, September 20! Unfortunately, we had to cancel the September 26th Opening Reception due to Hurricane Helene – Watch this space for the new date! We plan to announce it soon!
The theme of the Fall Into Winter is the change of seasons, as summer gives way to autumn and winter is hovering, just out of sight, perhaps, but ever more clearly felt in shorter days and cooling nights. This time, the entries include seasonal fabric art and paintings in different mediums. Some are already sold, but there are several lovely paintings and a Southwestern fabric piece available and still for sale! With the Holidays coming, stop by and see if you may have the perfect home for one!

Awards for Summer Living Exhibition
We were so pleased to have Ellen Burke back to judge the Summer Living Exhibition on Wednesday, July 24th! Many of you will remember Ellen from the En Plain Air workshop held in 2023, where she led us so well. Ellen’s career spans 38 years as an art educator, Fine and Performing Arts chair in New York and Massachusetts, and at the Art Institute of New Hampshire. She was ideally suited to review and critique these Summer Living artworks.
The theme of the Summer Living is embracing the playful energy of summer, to explore and enjoy life’s artistic discoveries. The Opening Reception was Thursday, July 25th, featuring music by Mark Andersen and light refreshments sponsored by Marilyn and Larry Pope.
