Dear fellow Hanoverians:
OPEN STUDIO ARTISTS
AN EXHIBITION OF WATERCOLORS
JOHN CURTIS LIBRARY
Now through APRIL 30, 2011
OPENING RECEPTION – SATURDAY APRIL 2nd at 2 p.m.
A few years ago, a group of women watercolorists were attempting to find a
location where they could get together weekly to paint. After a search for
appropriate facilities through many towns, they discovered the Plymouth
Center for the Arts, on North Street, in Plymouth Center. The director of
the center agreed to give them the use of a room on a weekly basis, for an
individual donation per week.
This original group has expanded to approximately ten women and has now been
meeting for over three years. The artists are from New Bedford, Falmouth,
Plymouth, Norwell, Duxbury, Marshfield, Hanover, and Abington. They meet
to paint, help each other, share ideas, encourage new approaches, and attend
exhibitions. This is their first group showing. The Open Studio is held
every Tuesday at Plymouth Center for the Arts, and anyone working in water
media is welcome to join. They meet at 11 a.m. and hold the studio until 3
p.m.
The participating artists in the Open Studio Artists Exhibition are Maureen
Brookfield, Audrey Coughlin, Betty Danker, Lynn Debbs, Wendy Hale, Isabella
Hoell, Kay Leahy and Ginny Wilson. There are a total of fifty-one paintings
in the exhibition representing a variety of styles, interests and
approaches. Each retains a unique method of expression. Many of the women
are juried gallery artists at South Shore Art Center, the Plymouth Center
for the Arts and the Cape Cod Art Association. There are a few members of
the New England Watercolor Society. All of the artists participate in the
shows held by the local art associations, such as North River Arts
Association, Duxbury Art Association, Scituate Art Association, Braintree
and Weymouth Arts Associations as well as participating in other local
events.
The public is enthusiastically invited to view the exhibition during library
hours (Mondays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.; Tuesdays, 1:00 – 8:00
p.m.; Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.). Please
feel free to turn the lights on when you arrive, and you are kindly
requested to turn them off to help regulate the temperature and preserve the
paintings in the room when you leave. For further information about the
exhibit, or if there are water media painters interested in joining the
group, please contact Kay Leahy at kayleahy@hotmail.com .
