Clinton Art Society News and Upcoming Exhibitions

Our 2019 Calendar is ON SALE!!

During this year's Summer Juried Exhibition, members of The Arbor Garden Club of Clinton selected 12 artworks from the show to do floral interpretations.   The floral interpretations were on display throughout our exhibit.  The 12 paintings the floral interpretations became the basis for Fine Art & Flowers, a 2019 calendar.  Calendars are full color and feature photographs and artist's quotes as well as notable dates through out the year.  Calendars are on sale for $20.  Proceeds benefit Clinton Art Society and The Arbor Garden Club programs and are part of an important community partnership.

Our newest Exhibition opens November 1!!

During our 2018 season, jurors at each exhibit selected a new Exhibition Prize.  Each year, CAS the Exhibition Prize winners from our Member's Show, Elected Member's Show, and Summer Juried Exhibition will be featured in an exhibit in the Green Room at Andrews Memorial Town Hall in Clinton.  We are proud to announce that our first group will be JoAnna Chapin, Karen Wiesner, and Hilary Griffin.  Each will have 15-20 works on display.  A Meet the Artists Reception is planned for Thursday, November 15 from 5 - 7 pm.  Plan to come and enjoy delicious seasonal hors d'oeuvres and refreshments while you enjoy this beautiful exhibit.
