Six area artists have had paintings accepted in the Philadelphia Sketch Club’s annual Small Oils Exhibition: Matt DeProspero, Lisa Domenic, Janine Dunn Wade, Jas Sziegel and Gene Underwood and Michael Weinert. Kate McCammon, a noted Philadelphia-based mixed media artist, was the juror.
The Philadelphia Sketch Club on tiny, picturesque Camac Street, is America’s oldest art club and has been operating continuously since 1860. Thomas Eakins taught there, and prominent artists such as N. C. Wyeth have served as president. The selected painters stand in a tradition of Bucks County artists included in Philadelphia Sketch Club shows. Walter Baum, Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield, and more recently, Ranulph Bye and Robert Beck, have all exhibited there.
The Small Oils Exhibition will run from September 7 until September 28. Admission is free when the gallery is open, on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from 1pm until 5pm, and by appointment. There will be a reception on Sunday, September 14, from 1 pm until 3 pm; 235 S. Camac Street, Philadelphia
