Salem County Art Tour

Today, after Chair Yoga at The Station in Merchantville, I went downstaies to the cafe' area and saw the display that proprietor Nicole had made of the many many 6 x 6 inch canvases of animal paintings donated by artists. She arranged them like a quilt! I loved it! >p/> So, this blog post is to tell you three places to see some art work this upcoming week, and in two of the places there are works of mine. First, do yourself a favor and get a lunch or a coffee at The Station (also known as Eiland Arts Center) 10 E. Chestnut Street, Merchantville, NJ and see the display of art that was made as a fundraiser for the Fishtails Animal Rescue of Philadelphia. You will be enchanted! Also on display until the end of the month in the gallery as well as the cafe' are some large fascinating photographs of musicians

Second, for one more week only, you can see the art display at Croft Farms, Borton's Mill Rd., Cherry Hill, NJ have a painting in that show which will be coming down on May 16th. You should look it up online to see the hours when the gallery is open. My painting is 'the blue rail stilt shack' on the Maurice River.'

third and final, there is a Salem County Art Tour Saturday May 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday May 19 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is a free self-guided art tour to the studios of several Salem County Artists. I have never taken the entire tour but one year when they had the tour, I visited the studio of Daniel Chard, who is not only a renowned artist, but has been a beloved painting teacher at Rowan for decades. This was advertised in SJ First AAA Magazine. For more info: www.salemcountyarttour.com

At the end of this month, I will be entering three paintings in the upcoming summer group show at The Station dedicated to the 150th Anniversary of the town of Merchantville. My two favorites out of the three, are of the train station when it still operated trains back in the late 1960's. The tracks along the Train station now are paved into 'Rails to Trails' and this is a great place to take a lovely walk and a wonderful place to bike or walk your dog, after which you can sit outside the cafe' and have a nice latte' or a smoothie.

Happy Trails my friends (as always, to contact me, please use my e-mail not the comments secion of this blog. Comments is poisoned by spam - wrightj45@yahoo.com)
