A group exhibition

About the Show...

This is the second year the students and teachers have collaborated to produce a month-long exhibit. This is the first year that they were given a theme. Board President Dr. Jack Devine announced the theme "Another Winter in a Summer Town" last January. Paintings include Ocean City winter scenes, seascapes in winter, and other moody scenes of a shore town when only the year-round residents are left in the area and many of the businesses are closed.

More than 40 students will show their art during the show. All artists are students at the Ocean City Arts Center and range in experience from beginners to intermediate level to experienced painters. We also have a few special needs students that will display their work. Teachers who will join their students in the show are Barbara Rosin, who instructs a class in all mediums; Susan Rau, Watercolor and Folk Art; Marie Natale, Watercolor; Renee Leopardi, Pastel Landscapes and Susan Irland, who teaches Pen, Pencil, Acrylics and Watercolor.

Ocean City Arts Center Executive Director Rosalyn Lifshin said, "This is the first time many of these students will have the opportunity to exhibit. They are learning the next step in becoming an artist, which is to prepare their work for a gallery. This is also an opportunity for our Center to show visitors the excellent art education we provide here".
