2008 Members' Exhibition

Our club mission to provide opportunities for, and to promote the work of, our
professional artist members, is specifically addressed by our annual Members’ Exhibition. Once again this year’s show was held in the heart of Soho at the Broome Street Gallery for three weeks from March 27 through April 13. Over 80 members from across the country exhibited work in sculpture, oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, graphite, mixed-media, pen
and ink, and graphics. All pieces were received, and shown off to their full advantage by the masterly hanging and coordinating talents of Lucille Berrill Paulsen, Nissan Gallant, Okki Wang, Eleanor Meier, Jeanette Dick, Priscilla Heep and Elaine Gaskell and many other volunteers. A steady stream visited the gallery during those three weeks, and were greeted by professional gallery sitters who guided our viewers through the gallery with enthusiasm and expertise. Five works were sold.

Twelve awards were presented at a cheese and wine reception on opening day. CLWAC president Joyce Zeller and chairwoman Lucille Schur
handed out the awards. The three judges, all previous Horse’s Head winners themselves, voted the Anna Hyatt Huntington Bronze Horse’s Head award for Best Painting to Elizabeth Torack for her oil titled “Sunday Morning.”

Chairwoman Lucille Schur wishes to thank all the artists, volunteers, gallery sitters, gallery officials, and the visitors who helped make the 2008 Members’ Exhibition another wonderful success.
