The prospectus for the next FPL exhibit is in this newsletter. Please read it carefully, as some guidelines have changed. Linda Hart, the volunteer director of this show, also asks that you try to keep a record of the paintings you enter in these shows, as she regrets having to turn away anyone who brings a piece previously shown there. _______________________________________________________________
We are excited to announce that we will be having 3 “mini-art shows” at the Center Street Players Theater in Freehold this year. The first exhibit will be in February in conjunction with the production of “Butterflies are Free”. These will be limited to just a few members per show as the space is not large. They will be themed shows, reflecting the mood/tone of the production. If you are interested in participating, e-mail FAS for details.
