Juried Art Show 2008

Here at the Arts Center we're in the last week of Shirley Hawthorne's show Favorite Places, Special Spaces. Within the next two weeks we will uninstall what we have up in the gallery right now and on Monday, November 3rd we will hang up the accept works to our Annual Juried Art Show. This year saw some impressive work and we had a great time getting to know our judges as they went through the process of choosing what made the cut or what didn't. The awards reception for the JAS will be Friday, November 7 from 7-9. To all those involved - accepted or not accepted - artists and those who aren't --- please join us for this very special community event and support these excellent artists and the Ocean City Arts Center!

**Just a reminder, for those whose work did not make it into the show the pick-up dates for your work are 11/3 - 11/8, however you can pick it up before the 3rd if you wish.


Stay tuned!!

Autumn Excitement

A very fun and busy time began last Friday with the opening reception of Shirley Hawthorne's show Favorite Places, Special Spaces. Our annual Pumpkin Painting Party followed the next day and was a great success. Today marks the start of our acceptance period for the Annual Juried Art Show and it will last for a week. Let me tell you what a busy morning it's been! The Arts Center is just bustling with people coming in and out, dancers in the studio, and our staff filing and typing away here in the office. We welcome you to join us in these upcoming weeks, for much is to come!

To all those who are interested in continuing with classes into the Winter Session:
Are there any subjects you'd be interested in learning about that we have not offered?
Drop us a comment here or come in and fill out a survey! Even give us a call. :)

Have a great day, and we hope to see you here.
