Congratulations going out to the award winning artists of Exhibition III, our small works show. This mid-summer exhibition features a wonderful group of works by our artist members: landscape, and still life, abstracts and whimsy-something for every mood and every buyer!

Judythe Evans Meagher "Bird and Blossoms"
And of course, don't miss the beautifully arranged Cape Ann Sisterhood show, which encompasses the work of seven talented and tireless women of the North Shore Arts Association. Without their passion and devotion, the NSAA would be a mere shadow of itself. Congratulation and a huge "Thank you" to the members of the sisterhood; Trudy Allen, Anne Demeter, Andrea Van Gestal, Pamela Hibbard Giarramitara,Bonnie Gray, Judyth Evans Meagher, Judith Metcalfe, and Janice Turner.
