Unbeatable Combination: Friends, Fine Art, Food and Wine! Pelham Art Center's Studio Café

The public is warmly invited to Pelham Art Center’s 14th annual favorite, the Studio Café, at 7:30pm on Saturday, Nov 5. Chaired by Lisa Daley and Judith Fishlow Minter, this fun and casual event will take place at the Art Center and in its tented courtyard.  There are several tantalizing enticements to this particular evening.  A valuable Ben Shahn ink drawing, “Businessman,” will be auctioned, among other exciting works. Rumor has it that the irrepressible Lisa Robb, the Art Center’s former director, might be auctioneering, assuring those gathered a lively and entertaining evening for all. There is a final delicious aspect to the evening: more than 25 local restaurants and caterers are donating food and desserts to the sumptuous buffet.

If you are a person just starting to collect art, this is a great way to learn the ropes of participating in a live and/or silent auction of artwork.  And you will be supporting an art center that continually gives back to its community with family-friendly free exhibits, workshops, folk arts events, and performances.  More than 20 works of art have been donated by local and national artists and donors including artists Chris Smith (featured in the Ocean Reglitterized exhibit) and Bruce Withers, and photographers Carey Weiss and Nick Kuskin. 

Guests will enjoy the food and also the live music and vocals. Bid in live and silent auctions of fine art and other unique and artful items.  All proceeds support free and affordable programs for the general public.
