The Gourgaud Gallery will be hosting an exhibit “Allentown Art Guild Members Show” from July 10 through July 29 at the gallery, located at Cranbury Town Hall, 23-A N. Main St.
A reception will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 10.
The Allentown Art Guild was formed in 2006 by three local artists. They believed there was a need for an association of professional and non-professional artists. Currently the guild is comprised of 20 members from the Allentown and the surrounding areas.
The guild is a non-profit organization and it holds monthly meetings that include workshops, demonstrations and lectures by distinguished artists. The public is invited to attend many of these events since it is the guild’s goal to encourage art appreciation in our community as well as to encourage artistic growth among its members. To help encourage young artists in the community, the Guild has sponsored an annual art award of $500 to a graduating Allentown High School senior.
The artwork is for sale with 20 percent of each sale going to support the Cranbury Arts Council and its programs. Cash or a check made out to the Cranbury Arts Council is accepted as payment. For additional information see www.cranburyartscouncil.org.
Hours for the exhibit are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 1 to 3 p.m. on July 10 and July 24.
