Art of the Month is a members-only art contest held during each monthly meeting. Our guest demonstrator chooses 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

The contest judge will give a brief critique of each winning piece. This is a great opportunity for all of us to learn!

You can see the artwork at three Manchester locations: Mary Cheney Library, The Arbors, and Whiton Library on North Main Street.
