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.

Artwork purchased from the Celebrating Jeanne exhibit can be picked up on: Sunday, July 14 between 4-5pm or July 16, 17, 18 or 19 from 12:30-5:00pm or by calling 845.803.8622 to make an appointment.
Thank you for your support!
