As a special celebration of our 25th Anniversary, we are inviting all members of MGNE – past and present – to show one unique print in our upcoming MGNE Members’ Exhibit. We welcome the participation of all who have been and currently are members of the guild.
As the Monotype Guild of New England prepares to celebrate this anniversary, we are attempting to reach as many past members of the Guild as we can. Sadly, some of our past members have passed away, but we welcome a print of theirs if a family member or friend would be willing to show it.
This non-juried Members’ Exhibition will be held at the new and beautiful Falmouth Art Center on Cape Cod. This is very fitting, as the Monotype Guild of New England began on Cape Cod 25 years ago. The exhibit will be held from June 8 – June 27. Our Annual Members’ Meeting and an Artists’ Reception will be held on June 19.
We would love to have you celebrate the 25th Anniversary with us! It is a great time for members to get to see each other and an example of the monotypes/monoprints they have been creating. And, it will be a great time for past members to reconnect with the Guild and its current members.
