Wednesday Figure Drawing Open Studio To Begin!

Invite two friends and come for free to this season's Wednesday Evening Figure Drawing Open Studio. Monitored by duCret Instructor Christine Myshka, who teaches Life Drawing at the school during the day, individuals are given the opportunity under her guidance, to sketch several quick poses from a live nude model. This method of sketching follows in the vein of a traditional style approach to fine art. Beginners are always welcome and one needs only to bring a sketch pad, a few pencils and an eraser to the Fine Art Floor where they can station themselves at an easel. Mellow music permeates the evening. Fee: duCret students, teachers & alumni /$10.00 per session. Non-duCret walk-ins/$15.00 per session. This series begins on October 30 and runs to November 18. No pre-registration necessary - just show up and pay on the spot!

Summer Invite to Swain Galleries Exhibition!

For several decades now, the duCret School of Art (NJ's oldest art school) and Swain Galleries (NJ's oldest retail gallery) have united to showcase the works of award winning duCret students each and every year. On Saturday, July 18, from 5pm to 7pm, art lovers and supporters of duCret are invited to the Swain Galleries to view this years 'Selected Works'. This opportunity, which also is a classroom requirement, enables duCret students to become part of a 'live' gallery exhibition. Many times the student works are sold through the gallery. Over the years Swain Galleries has also kept on board, some of the promising new artist's works, and for many, this introduction into the gallery scene affords them the ability to springboard to do other gallery exhibitions. At this coming exhibition, guests can mill about, view all the works of duCret's varied artists and meet the artists themselves. All Open Studio attendees are invited! The work is family friendly and the exhibition is free to the public. Swain Galleries is located at 703 Watchung Ave., Plainfield, NJ.
