Current Exhibition Cancellations and More due to COVID-19 Posted on March 17, 2020 by Kenneth Weiner As the COVID-19 crisis unfolds, it is clear that it is in the best interest of our members and friends to curtail activities involving groups of any size. With that in mind, we are taking the following actions:... We’re sorry to announce that the upcoming 157th Small Oil Paintings exhibition scheduled for March 23rd through April 30th is cancelled. We hope to reschedule this event in the late summer time-frame. Workshops and other PSC activities are cancelled through April 15th. However, it is highly likely that we will have to extend that closure. Our office will be open Wed & Fri 11 AM 5 PM; (215) 545 9298 Call or email to arrange to pickup work from the Art of the Flower exhibition The PSC office will remain active. You can keep up-to-date by visiting us at: http://sketchclub.org/ We currently have two active on-line galleries: The Art of the Flower at: http://sketchclub.org/2020-art-of-the-flower-exhibition/ The 157th Small Oil Paintings 2020 at: http://sketchclub.org/157th-small-oil-paintings-2020/ Our monthly newsletter, the Portfolio will be published as scheduled on April 1st.
