The Suburban Artist Guild will exhibit work by its members from Nov. 6 through Nov. 23 at the Gourgaud Gallery in Cranbury.
A reception for the artists and the public will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6.
The Suburban Artist Guild (SAG) is an informal organization that provides a supportive environment for artists, creating two-dimensional work, in the central New Jersey area. It has been in existence since 1963, and currently focuses on providing artists a forum to exchange artistic ideas, grow in their knowledge of technical, theoretical, and historical aspects of art, and to foster an appreciation of the arts by, and for, the general public.
SAG members exhibit expertise in watercolor, oils, pen/ink and acrylic painting, color pencil, graphite, pastel, and charcoal drawing. Many member artists belong to professional artist organizations.
The group holds monthly meetings on the second Friday of each month (unless there’s a holiday, then a meeting is the week before or after), from 2 to 4 p.m. at the East Brunswick Public Library meeting room 3. The meetings include mini-workshops and/or demos of a variety of artist techniques, all presented by experienced artists from around the state. SAG also organizes local group exhibits, as well as individuals at a local restaurant. For information, contact Selena Palmer at 732-254-3113, or Paula Feifer at 732-238-0800.
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. See www.cranburyartscouncil.org.
Gallery hours are Sundays, Nov. 6 and Nov. 20 from 1 to 3 p.m.; and Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed on Veterans Day).
