Kearsarge Middle School teacher Karla Salathe will introduce her students' work to the world at Whipple Hall and Tom Pirozzoli and (a-hem) Ken Schuster are together again at the Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. And for one of the best Regional Juried Shows ever, don't miss the New London Inn!

VAG Votes to Expand Regional Juried Show Venues

Members at the Oct 2 VAG meeting voted to expand the RJS from the New London Inn to include the Bar Harbor Bank & Trust and Blue Loon Bakery. The added space will allow an increase in the number of accepted pieces from the current 20-21and opens the size restriction from the current 30 inches. Opening the competition to Emerging Artists was suggested and details will be worked out during subsequent VAG meetings.

This is just one example of the important decisions that are made at almost every VAG meeting. We meet on the first Tuesday of every month, 3pm at the Tracy library. The next meeting is Election Day, Nov 6, which is perfect timing for VAG members to vote for the next VAG Coordinator. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend.

42 artists submitted 115 pieces and the Jury worked for six days to select 21. The accepted artists are:

Martha Wilkerson, Roger Wells, Benjamin Tolosa, Rick Stockwell, Katie Runde, Tom Pirozzoli, Louise Morin Dichard, Gloria Merritt, Beatrice Jillette, Jack Harkins, Georgia Green, Laura Graveline, Ludmila Gavoronsky, Gwen Fuller, Edibeth Farrington, Don Collins, Ruth Chevion, Donna Catanzaro, Caroline Bouton, P. Michael Benham, Katherine Armstrong.

See the winning images on the Web Gallery.

Best of Show and First Place will be announced at the Opening Reception, Nov 2 at the New London Inn, 5:30 - 7pm.

Walk in the front door of the Millstone 74 on Main restaurant, look to your left and you'll say "Wow!" too. That's just one of the many Loren Howard paintings that have added a wonderful quality to the ambience. Check it out.
