Exhibiting artists include Marilyn Cavallari, Ian Creitz, Sandra Dovberg, Dona Mara Friedman, Matthew Lerman, Nancy Tips, Katrin Wait, Kim Eng Yeo and Helen Young.

Collectively their works encompass everything from oil painting to photography, pastoral content to industrial themes, and traditional representation to abstract.

While the full calendar is slated for announcement in the coming weeks, executive director Jennifer Weinstein alluded to several highlights that will honor the anniversary. “We will incorporate the 65th in an upcoming juried exhibition theme, and we have a few other fun tricks up our sleeve … you’ll just have to stay tuned,” she said.
