Five Artists Invitational Show Opens to Large Audience
Dozens visit the Portsmouth Arts Guild (PAG) Friday evening to attend the opening reception of the Five Artists Invitational Show. This was the first show of its kind for the PAG.
Dozens attended Friday night's opening reception of the Five Artist Invitational, which was held at the Portsmouth Arts Guild (PAG) on East Main Road.
This show was unique for the PAG and a first of its kind for the guild. This show premiered the winners of an invitation to artists, in which only PAG members were asked to submit a slideshow on a CD of their work.
The five artists were then chosen by a jury. A total of 26 entries were received.
Winners of the Five Artist Invitational were Leonard Rumpler (photography), P. Jane Renwick (acrylic painting), Marc Jaffe (photography), Priscilla Foley (watercolor and mixed media painting) and Anne Winthrop Cordin (oil painting).
The work of all five artists will be on display at the PAG weekly on Saturdays, Sundays, Thursdays and Fridays from 1 to 5 p.m. through the next show.
