Monson Arts Council Art Show

Jim Gambaro Photography
I just happened to drive through down town Monson on Sunday afternoon to see an "ART SHOW TODAY" sign outside of the House of Art, located at 200 Main Street, Monson MA.  Needing a little break from the grind, my boyfriend and I stopped in to the free show and were pleasantly surprised!  I was a little disappointed that we missed out on the catered reception and wine tasting the day before, but the art made up for our loss.  There was a great mix of photography, sculpture, oils, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, and some amazing pencil drawings!  I'm pretty excited about my discovery of the House of Art because I'm somewhat new to the area and I don't really know of too much around me that is art related.  Sponsored by local businesses and my favorite art store, Jerry's Artarama, this juried art exhibit was a great end to my weekend!  Here are a few artists I was able to pick up business cards from while I was there.  Click on the image to be redirected to their pages!

I'm a little disappointed in the site for the Monson Arts Council, but hopefully when I get "accepted as a friend" on their Facebook page it will have more information about artists and upcoming events.  I hope to have at least one piece prepared for the next show they hold!
