Making new friends
Senator Thomas H. Kean, Jr. shows his support for our venerable organization this evening at an event in Kenilworth. Senator Kean, who grew up in and maintains his office in Westfield, is on the board of the New Jersey Council on the Arts. We look forward to staying in touch!
Recap: Roselle Park Loves Art!
We are so pleased to have participated this afternoon in Roselle Park’s RP Loves Art! street festival. Located on several lovely, tree-lined, residential blocks of Chestnut Street, the attractions were local art, music, theater & dance groups, alongside local food vendors. The weather, for a change, cooperated.
Our own WAA board members Mary Ann Iannitto (pastel portraits) and Ginny Puskar (acrylic painting) created original art live at the event, and drew lots of attention. We also set up exhibit walls in the street to display the locally-focused artwork of several more WAA members.
Over the afternoon we met many new friends, had fun arguing about art & artists, enjoyed real food, and had our pictures taken many, many times.
WAA participates in Roselle Park Loves Art ! this Saturday
We have a handful of WAA artists that will be joining us for the event to exhibit their work and do live painting, but we can certainly use more. Let’s show the surrounding communities that the Westfield Art Association truly supports the arts. We are looking to have a strong presence at this event. Ple
