Celebrating Jeanne opening reception
The Timeless show has taken a different turn this year as we lost our longtime friend and member Jeanne Demotses, and have chosen to honor her work in the Timeless Exhibit’s space. It is our hope that her memory is timeless.

On Saturday, June 29, from 3-6 pm, the Putnam Arts Council is going to hold the opening reception of the Celebrating Jeanne exhibition, a memorial exhibition honoring the art and life of Jeanne Demotses.
It will be on exhibition from Saturday, June 29 thru Sunday, July 14.
Closing: Sunday, July 14, 2-4 pm.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday through Friday from 12:30 – 4:30 pm, Sundays, June 30, July 7, 14 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm or by appointment.
