‘Art About Town:’ SCAN Show Opening Reception Sunday Afternoon

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) is presenting the third show in its new series of exhibitions called “Art About Town.”

Art by five members of the artists’ group — Pam Danneman, Adele Moros, Margaret Moss, Glen River, and Roberta Shea — have been hung in the special events room on the second floor of Stone River Grille, 1 Glen Road in Sandy Hook. Non-diners are welcome, says restaurant owner Gary Seri, to visit the show any time the restaurant is open.

The exhibition features a cross-section of styles and mediums, from oils and watercolors of landscapes by Ms Moros and oils and watercolors of landscapes and still life by Ms Danneman to oil paintings by Ms Shea and mixed media works of Mr Glen. Ms Moss has contributed a collage, called “Strange Wanderings,” which has been hung in the entryway just outside the main entrance of the special events room.

SCAN will host an opening reception for “Art About Town: Stone River Grille” on Sunday, February 12, from 2 to 4 pm. The 26 works on view will remain on view until March 31.

Mr Seri has announced that the commissions that come from the sale of any works from this show will be donated to FAITH Food Pantry.

The reception on Sunday afternoon will also include the formal dedication of the special events room. Mr Seri plans for formally dedicate the space as The Hawley Warner Room, honoring the man who was the sole proprietor for the last 30 years that The Red Brick General Store (formally known as H.G. Warner and Company) was in business. Mr Warner retired in May 1978, and the historic building in Sandy Hook Center was sold out of the Hawley family later that year.
