Since there is there not alot of openings here in the winter, I would like the blog to be filled with comments and ideas on the art world......including individual projects people in the area are busy with. For instance, it will be interesting to see what the new administration does for the art world.....could be really great.

Please feel free to write in and start a conversation.

There is a new, temporary Artist's Co-op in West Cape May. It's on Broadway and is open for holiday shopping....check it out and support local artisans at the same time.

The Cape May County Art League's juried show at Soma last night was very well attended and more importantly, the work was really fresh and lively.

Janet Miller and her staff did an amazing job of hanging the show. As some realize, this is something we can take for granted but can make or break a show.

Please go and support art and our artists from our community...it's an exciting show.

The opening reception is Saturday, October 25th, 5-8pm. The exhibition continues through December 14th.
Gallery hours in the winter are Thursday-Sunday, 10am-5pm.

Come see the works of members of the Cape May County Art League Saturday night. The art league is the oldest in the nation and continues to attract highly motivated and supportive members and leaders to keep the arts thriving in our county. It is also an opportunity to see a wide variety of styles of artwork.

Head over to Soma Gallery Saturday evening to see a few new pieces and get a piece of Stan's inspiration.

Pictured is a painting by Reta Sweeney entitled "Lady Apples for Claude", 12"x12". Reta, former president of The Cape May County Art League moved from the county last year, but has returned with her new work. The reception is Sunday, September 28th, 3-4:30, and will run for a month.

So sorry, still sleepy and have shifted into all that i have neglected for the last 5 days. Included in that is part of my recent memory...
