Arts Guild instructors get their own show

The Island Now

The public is invited to opening of The Art Guild’s pop-up exhibit “An Internal Affair” featuring the work of the Guild’s instructors, studio artists and board members.

“This show is a way for The Art Guild to say “thank you” to all the people behind the scenes, whose hard work and dedication helped us get back on our feet this past year,” said Susan Herbst, associate executive director. “September marks our one year anniversary of being back at Elderfields and running our programs and pursuing our mission of education, encouragement and exhibitions for artists of all ages in our community.”

The range of styles and materials runs the gamut – from very traditional landscapes in oil, to sculpture and printmaking, to modern abstract mixed media.

The show will be on view at The Art Guild’s home, Elderfields Preserve, 200 Port Washington Blvd., Manhasset, from Wednesday July 22 through Sunday, August 30. Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. or by appointment. 

A potluck reception was slated to be held on Wednesday, July 22.

The Guild is also pleased to offer classes for children and adults as well as a workshop, The Art of The Still Life with Gregg Kreutz on September 19-20. 

A call for artists has gone out for the next gallery exhibit, “Ordinary Made Extraordinary: The Art of Still Life.” Deadline for submissions is August 12 and the show will be on view from September 4 – 27, with an artist’s reception September 11, 6 to 8 p.m. 

The Art Guild is located at Elderfields Preserve, 200 Port Washington Blvd. in Manhasset. For a full schedule of events and more information, please call (516) 304-5797, email info@theartguild.org or visit www.TheArtGuild.org.
