OCAC happenings

Today begins the installation of Shirley Hawthorne's show. The opening reception will be Friday, October 10. Hawthorne's paintings capture her life and surroundings in many places throughout New Jersey and even Texas. So far the display is dazzling, with rich colors, pleasant vistas, and even some decadant frames. For the locals, the subject matter is especially close. There is a beautiful texture to these paintings, and I encourage all of you to stop in and see this wonderful process take place!



Following Shirley Hawthorne's opening there will be a Pumpkin Painting Party held by instructor Rob Gummel. For those interested in participating it is $7.50 per pumpkin and you must sign up ahead of time. There is a late morning session and an early afternoon one, and you can register over the phone.

Most importantly our Juried Arts Show is quickly approaching. October 15 begins the acceptance period and we welcome artists of all mediums (excluding photography because there is a separate show for that) to submit their work. The opening of the J.A.S. is in November.

Late fall is a very fun and busy time here at the Arts Center and we would love for as many people to be involved as possible, so come out and see us!
