​​​--- MEETING INFORMATION ---

The Salem County Art League September General Meeting is Monday, September 28.  The meeting will be held online via Zoom.   

• The Zoom invitation will be sent to all SCAL members a day or two before the scheduled time of the meeting.  Non members are always invited to our general meetings too.  Those non members who would like to attend the Zoom meeting can also receive a Zoom invitation by emailing  amdevitt@comcast.net  by September 23.  
• The guest speaker for this meeting is Dan Chard who will be critiquing artwork submitted by members who are attending the meeting.  His topic, "The Hidden Message of Art," is taken from his new book, Heart: Discord and Reconciliation within an American Life.  Dan visits our group annually and the opportunity for critique is always popular.

• To have the best quality images of artwork for Dan to critique and everyone to see, we are asking for images of the artwork to be submitted prior to the meeting.  Members who would like to submit work for critique should take a clear photo of your work and email it to Annette Devitt, amdevitt@comcast.net , by Wednesday, September 23.  For examples,  click here to see how the pictures from the recent Senior Show look.  The photo you send in should resemble those examples.
• The critique will take the place of “Show and Tell” for the September meeting. ​

 ========================================
OPEN STUDIO -- Casual painting opportunity.
SCAL has extended our reservation of the Rotary Pavillion at Marlton Park in Woodstown, from now through the month of October from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.  The Pavillion is a large space w/cover and many picnic tables inside that make it possible to be socially distant.  The Pavillion is located just inside the Marlton Park entrance at 123 Marlton Road, Woodstown.
     There is no formal instruction offered except for the conversation generated from the people who attend.  Pack up some materials: and, if you choose, a beverage, snack, and some bug spray (just in case).  Check it out each Saturday now through the month of October!  
     This opportunity is offered by the Salem County Art League, but you do not have to be a member to participate.
