PAS Spring Show Report

PRINCETON ARTS SOCIETY SPRING ART EXHIBIT AND SALE: 
Report from Len Haug

Our 21st Spring Art "Coming of Age" Exhibit and Sale was very successful thanks to all participating artists, volunteers, and some 125 to 150 attendees.  I would like especially to thank the following people:

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS

Close to 50 member artists (including 3 new members) participated in the show. We had over 85 entries. The quality of the art on exhibit was outstanding, and a wide range of subjects and media were represented. We are indeed fortunate to have such talented artists as members. Congratulations to the winning artists: Joanne Talbot Quinn (First Place), Tom Kellner (Second Place), Jean Stabell (Third Place), Sid Solomon (Honorable Mention), and Joe Smith (Honorable Mention).

Special thanks to the following individuals (in alphabetical order) : Jen Caswell, Judy Dino, Christian Gal, Claire Golding, Naoko Gomi, Barbara Krashes, Doreen LaScola, Beth Mellor, Diane Moore, Jean Murphy, Diane Pedersen, Janice Rayner, Karen Rossow, Jean and Harry Strock, Dave and Rosella Stromberg, Mary and Lou Trostel, Judy Tyler, and Susan Ulrich.

We would also like to thank the following groups and individuals for their contributions:

Thanks to the Wachusett Garden Club members, including  Rosalind Rourn Beck, Kim Houde, Karen Johnson, Beth MacAdams, and Elisabeth Murphy, for their beautiful floral arrangements.

Finally, we are pleased to announce that we were able to sell four pieces of art on behalf of our members and raise over $450.00 for the Society through commissions and donations. Thanks to those who purchased art work and/or made donations to our Society. Your support is very much appreciated in helping us cover our ongoing operational expenses.
