SSAA would like to thank all of those members who have sent in their dues and encourage those who haven't, as yet, to maintain your membership with us. As a non-profit gallery, we very much depend upon your sponsorship. And, we so appreciate it! Thank you to all!
And a very warm welcome to our newest members, Jean Bargeron, Jane Cowley, Audrey D'Auteuil, Phillip Falcone, Kirsten Renehan, Gregory Scott, Lisa Slauson and Maidena Young! The photography of Peggy Carter and Steve Bensing was chosen to appear in the 2018-2019 Wisconsin's Great Waters calendar published by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Peggy's "Water on Sea Caves" was selected for November 2019. Steve's "Ice Cave Parade" appears in December 2019. The winning photos can be viewed at https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/GreatLakes/ContestWinners.html. Also, Peggy and Steve were recently selected as Agritourism winners of the 2018 Indiana State Department of Agriculture Photo Contest. Peggy's winning photo "Covered Bridge" and Steve's "Farm Market" were selected. They will be recognized at the Lt. Governor’s Celebration of Agriculture 3:30 p.m. on August 16th in the Normandy Barn at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The Duneland Photography Club is currently exhibiting at the Ellen Firme Gallery in Beverly Shores. Over 30 works from 13 members are on display. SSAA member Peggy Carter has several pieces in the show, including "Lighthouse World." Steve Bensing is exhibiting work that includes "Attacking the Waves." The show continues through September 11th. The Dunes Arts Foundation will be hosting the FIRST BRUSH OF FALL Paint Out Competition & Art Sale in September hosted by the DAF and Dunes Summer Theatre in partnership with IPAPA. They are hoping for robust participation from Duneland Painters as well as Plein Air Painters of Chicago and painters from downstate and across the region. So far, there is over $5,000 in prize awards with a goal of over $10,000 to be awarded. More information will be forthcoming. A GENTLE REMINDER... For the past 16 years, the Southern Shore Gallery has exhibited artists from newly emerging to professional and has become a beacon for local and regional works to be displayed and purchased. As the only non-profit gallery in Michigan City that exposes our regional artists to the wider community in Northwestern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan, SSAA has put the Uptown Arts District on the map, the first to institute First Friday and we continue to draw people downtown to shop, dine and enjoy the arts! First Fridays from 5-8pm have become a tradition and it's a great time to meet old friends and make new ones. Memberships of $40 for the present year of July 1 through June 30, 2019 may be paid at the gallery or by PayPal through our website Southern Shore Art Association. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you soon! Be sure to review the Indiana Arts Commission website at indianaartscommission@iac.in.gov.
