The Webster Art Club will be strutting their stuff this month at a big art show hosted at the Pittsford Barnes & Noble from May 4 through May 31.
Seventeen Art Club members have submitted 55 pieces for this particular show, which will be judged by retired Webster art teacher Carolyn Carlton. An opening reception will be held on Saturday May 4 at 1 p.m. in the community room on the second floor — a good chance to meet the artists.
This month’s show is a great representation of how creative and incredibly talented these artists are, and how fortunate we are that they choose to share their work with us.
Mary Coy, president of the Webster Art Club, says this about the club:
As a club, we focus on community first, art second. We’re known to be a friendly group of artists of all levels who support each other on our artistic journeys. Our season runs from Sept-June, with monthly meetings the second Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:30pm at the Webster Recreation Center on Chiyoda Drive. We invite different artists in the community to come and share their process with us. We also have Open Art sessions every Wednesday morning, also at the Rec Center, where members come together to work on their own projects. Once a month we provide an Open Art Focus, a specific activity for those who want to learn something new.
One of our favorite meetings of the year is in March when we invite the Advanced Placement Art students from Schroeder and Thomas high schools to give a presentation of their art. We enjoy being connected to a younger generation of artists, for they have new ideas to teach us.
Other activities the group participates in are field trips to different galleries, a rotating art display at the Rec Center and Creative Canvas workshops for the Rec Center, (the next one will be held May 15 at the arboretum).

Thanks for a great article, Missy!
The headline says the opening reception is Friday, however, the opening is Saturday. Text in article is correct.
(I used to write and edit a company newsletter, so I understand the hiccups!)
OOOOPS, sorry and thank you!!
