St. Paul's UMC is pleased to present the Manasquan River Group of Artists and their original paintings, drawings and prints at the Art Show, Sale and Boutique to be held on Saturday, August 8th in front of the church. The Manasquan River Group of Artists is the oldest art group in Monmouth County, and the membership includes artists from Ocean and Monmouth counties as well as other areas of New Jersey. The group meets the first Friday of the month at the Curtis House in Brielle. Besides participating at the St. Paul's Antiques Show, the group holds classes at the Sea Girt Lighthouse in the fall, and participate in various other outdoor shows and exhibits. Last year's participating artists were: Susanna Anastasia, June Coles, Janice Collinson, Joel Gahr, Alex Gletow, Paula Kolojeski, Robert Loder Jr., Pauline Mickle, Sheila Mickle, and Joanne Pisapia. Artist Ann Hayes also displayed her watercolors and prints, and Ted Ricchiuti sold his fused dichroic glass jewelry. Pauline Mickle and Bill Carpenter gave painting demonstrations. Look for even more artists in 2008!
