News from Land of Pleasant Living!

Welcome to my first newsletter, from the Land of Pleasant Living, in the Chesapeake Bay area. I hope you find my news entertaining and interesting, and not too shameless, as I promote my art, and my favorite non-profit organizations.

MFA Collector’s Dinner – November 1, 2009

Wow! At Annapolis Subaru, over 200 people browsed through 149 pieces of artwork, at the 33rd Annual Collector’s Choice Dinner. MFA artists donated artwork, and by lottery, patrons chose their favorite piece to take home with them. Two of my pieces, “Golden Waves”, and “Crooked Path”, now have new homes, and wonderful adoptive parents. The really fun part was meeting the patrons that chose my artwork. Another really fun part was just taking in the beautiful artwork! It was spectacular! Next year, I am buying a ticket, so I can take home a piece of artwork, too.

Markethouse at Annapolis

The City of Annapolis has allowed the MFA to use two unrented spaces in the Markethouse, next to the City Dock, for member artists to show their work. Every month, the artwork changes, so stop by to see the show, and enjoy some of the best food by Vaccaro’s and Atwaters!

Howard County Council for the Arts (HoCo) Holiday Extravaganza!

Save the evening of Friday, December 1st for a HoCo holiday sale of local artists’ works. The sale runs from 6-8 PM at HoCo. Check out www.hocoarts.org for directions.

“Magic at the Mill” – Nov. 21st and 22nd

Join the merchants at Savage Mill for this annual, fun, family event! I will be hosting receptions on both days from 1PM to 4PM, with a cool twist – “Color Magic” – a show about color. I will be offering information about color, why we love it, hate it, crave it, and drop our jaws over it. And there will be a contest, and prizes, and a drawing, and wine, and food, and all kinds of good stuff. The show is now up, and will run through the end of the year. Please call me (443.286.3233) or e-mail me (cathy.harville@gmail.com) to schedule a time to visit. I don’t keep regular hours, but I am very flexible, and will be happy to spend time with you in my studio. Visit my website (www.harvilleart.com) for more information.

Keeping my fingers crossed…

I have submitted three pieces for the November juried show at MFA in Annapolis. I will find out tonight if I am juried in. The reception is Sunday, November 8th, from 3PM to 5PM, at the Circle Gallery, 18 State Circle.

Chestertown Art League – November Show

Two of my pieces will be on display in the member’s judged show through November. Chestertown is a quaint and friendly little town on the Eastern Shore, full of galleries and artists. My husband and I discovered by boat, and visit every chance we get! And, the town is very dog friendly, which is important to us folks with canine friends.

Until next time, artfully yours,

Cathy Harville
