Saturday Sketchers Exhibit coming to Plymouth Gallery on September 26!
Saturday Sketchers Artist Reception
A new exhibit is coming soon to Plymouth Gallery with art by the Saturday Sketchers! This is a group of local artists that has been gathering each Saturday afternoon to draw/paint and share encouragement since 1948. Join us for an artist reception on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 12-2 PM in Greenwood. Exhibit will be installed in the Plymouth Gallery the week prior.
About Saturday Sketchers
In 1948 a group of Des Moines artists decided to gather on Saturday afternoons to draw and paint en plein air, sharing comeraderie and encouragement. The group was all male. In 1968 when women were allowed to join, half the men quit. But the group continued and carries on today, with no bylaws, no club officers, no meetings. Our group includes well-known local artists, a professor emeritus, retired attorneys and creative directors. Our art experience ranges from enthusiastic amateurs to experienced professionals to rank beginners. Approximately 20 artists are included in a weekly email, and any given Saturday will find 8-15 of us gathering at Greenwood Park to decide where to paint that day. All are welcome! For more information contact Mickey Carlson (mcarlson150@gmail.com).
Saturday Sketchers group includes: Jackie Downing Brown, Lisa Reeder Burns, Mickey Carlson, Connie Cerretti, Jane Curl, Jim Engler, Mary Helen Grace, Gary Hoff, Dwight James, Larry Lewis, Leslie Leavenworth, Dianne Liepa, Jean McReynolds, Kristi Mignano, Jolene Pen, Cody Roberts. Joining from time to time: Charles Mertes, Larry Frederichs, Travis Gilson, Regina Lloyd, Olesya Maupin, and others.
