“The Four Seasons Watercolor Group” Reception Sunday, November 1 1-3 PM

During November the Gourgaud Gallery, located at Cranbury Town Hall, 23-A N. Main Street in Cranbury, N.J. will be hosting a free exhibit by:
“The Four Seasons Watercolor Group”
Reception Sunday, November 1 1-3 PM
Exhibit from November 1-25
Hours: Monday – Friday 9 AM – 4 PM

The watercolor group is taking classes by Russ Johnson. The emphasis is to simplify complex images, mostly landscapes and seascapes, preferably from one’s own photos. The class begins with an explanation of the class and a demonstration by the instructor. Each student is encouraged to use a loose watercolor style.
Each student may submit up to five artworks that were created in or completed later from the classes instructed by Russ Johnson.
We hope many can come to see these artistic efforts at the Gourgaud Gallery. 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.
You can meet the exhibiting Artists at the reception on November 1 from 1-3 PM. Refreshments are served at the Artist Reception.

Any painting, drawing, collage, or other medium, which portrays or includes CONSTRUCTED PIECES (THINGS THAT ARE MAN-MADE, NOT MADE BY NATURE), is suitable. We look forward to another very successful exhibit. We are limiting the entries to 2-3 pieces per artist. We do our best to make sure everyone has the same chances for exposure.

The date and time for receipt of work will be Tuesday, December 29TH, 9:00 -10:00 a.m. at the gallery. If you cannot drop off the work at that time, leave it in the closet (before Dec. 29th ---work brought in after the appointed time and date will not be accepted) along with the application, in clearly marked bags. Each piece should be clearly labeled on the back with name, title and price. We will notify you of accepted work as soon as possible.

It would be helpful if you would provide your email on the application form so that we can be in touch more effectively.

Pick up day will be from 1-2 PM on the last Sunday, January 31st. Work not picked up at that time will be left in the closets for pick up during the week. To download an application, click on attachment marked exhibit title
