Love Your Local - Artists

The Madison Art Society has over 240 artists from throughout the shoreline.  The Madison Art Society welcomes the community to attend our free outdoor art exhibitions, their member and juried shows, and to see the artist demonstrations that are open to the public.  MAS also provides a high school scholarship award as part of the SAA Award Program.

Art demonstrations are open to the public at the Memorial Town Hall near the green on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.: Pastel demonstration by Christine Ivers on July 14, Watercolors by Steve Cryan on august 4, and Oil painting by Kathy Anderson on September 8, 2011.  A small nominal donation would be appreciated to offset costs.  

Summer is a time for our Madison Art Society artists to display their paintings at outdoor art exhibitions and to support our local non-profit organizations.  The Annual Scranton Memorial Library Festival of Outdoor Arts show will be held on Friday, July 29 and Saturday July 30, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.   It is a great opportunity for the public to view the paintings by of our local artists and to support the Scranton Library with the sales from their paintings.  The MAS artists donate 10% of the proceeds from the sale of their paintings to the library.  In the past six years, they have donated $11,000 to the library as gratitude for using the library to hold their Annual Member and Juried Shows.  The sale will be held behind the library on Wall Street.

Artists from MAS will also be at the Madison Exchange Club's Annual Arts and Antiques Fair on Saturday, August 13, 2010 on the Madison Green  from 9 -4 p.m. (no rain date).  In addition, our artists support the Madison Exchange Club by donating 10% of their sales. The Madison Art Society artists will have their art work on sale and they encourage everyone to come out and support our local artists, antique vendors and the Madison Exchange Club community efforts.   MAS artists will be painting and exhibiting their scenes of the  Bauer Park farm on October 15, 2011 during the Bauer Farm Harvest Festival
