52nd Annual Fall Show and Sale

 

The Hanover Area Arts Guild's Board of Directors thanks the participating artists of our 52nd Annual Fall Show for their talents and artistic vision. As always, the over-130 works entered showcase the impressive skills of our members. Please plan on seeing the exhibit in person, and encourage your friends and fellow artists to do likewise.

The awards juror for the 2020 Fall Show is Linda Benton McCloskey, who has achieved signature artist status with the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, the Baltimore Watercolor Society, and the Philadelphia Watercolor  Society. She has also attained Nautilus Status in the International Society of Experimental Artists. Linda maintains a gallery and studio at The Millworks in Harrisburg, PA, where she also conducts classes and workshops. The Arts Guild is honored to have her serve as our juror.

Thanks to board member Eric Miller for spearheading the exhibit's organization, our intake volunteers, staff member, Rob Campbell, the Show and Gallery Committees, and Board Secretary Julie Miller.
