Winter Workshop Art
Exhibit-Sept 8-30, 2012
The Winter workshops at
the Gourgaud Gallery sponsored by the Cranbury Arts Council has given local
artists the opportunity to remain painting 12 months of the year. CAC has hosted Art in the
garden sessions all around the area for the spring/ summer months for plien air
painting. Colleen Cahill started this program to supplement it, so that even in
the doldrums of winter we are able to assemble to learn, to paint and to create
together. The focus has been on watercolor, collage, pastel and many
specialized topics such as perspective drawing and still life with drama.
CAC employs working
artists to facilitate these workshops and each year we get a great turnout to
these sessions. We celebrate the work done at the workshops (collage, pastels,
and watercolors being among the classes) with a gallery showing. Work can be
submitted late August from workshop participants that are reviewed and possibly
juried, based on the response. We also try to hang a piece from each of our
artist and instructors.
The Winter workshop
gallery show is one of the highlights of Cranbury Day and we hope many can come
see these artistic efforts and join us at the official opening Sunday Sept. 9th
from 1-3 PM at the Gourgaud where ART happens.
The Gourgaud Gallery
will also offer matted paintings for sale outside of the gallery, as part of
Cranbury Day.
The artwork is
for sale with 20% of each sale going to support the Cranbury Arts Council and
its programs. Cash or a check made out to the Cranbury Arts Council is accepted
as payment.
The Gallery is located in Town
Hall- a
Town Hall, 23-A North Main Street in Cranbury, NJ and is free and open to the public Mon- Fri from 9 AM. – 4
PM and the third and last
Sunday of the month from 1-3 pm. You can meet the exhibiting Artist(s).
