The preliminary calendar for our 2024 lineup is now available (link). We’re thrilled with the diverse array of exhibitions scheduled for the year. As customary, we’ve reserved slots for our staple shows: the Members Show, the Juried Fine Arts Show, and the Mahopac School District’s Art Hop. Additionally, we’ve set aside dates for solo artist exhibitions and reintroduced crowd-favorites—the Animal Magnetism Show and the Small Works Exhibit.
Excitingly, 2024 marks the introduction of two new, innovative shows. In June, we present Exploring Life Through Your Smartphone Lens a celebration of the diverse and unique perspectives captured through our smartphones. Open to photographers aged 13 and above.
For our November exhibit we’re inviting members to contribute their creative vision… Shape Our November Exhibit seeks your artistic insights and imaginative suggestions to craft the theme and concept that will define our November showcase!
Stay tuned as we refine and add details to the calendar as the events draw near.
“As we approach the conclusion of the year, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our valued members and friends. We kindly ask you to keep the Putnam Arts Council in your thoughts as you consider organizations deserving of your support…”
