My painting, "Cape Cod Marsh #3", is one of the many outstanding paintings donated to the Ridgewood Art Institute's 68th Annual Sponsors Show.

The Sponsors Art Show is our most popular annual event, providing our sponsors an opportunity to acquire a beautifully framed original painting from among the collection donated by our outstanding artists and instructors. In addition to fabulous landscapes and still life subjects, several of our professional artists offer the chance to commission a portrait or pet painting. The fortunate recipients are those who declare their sponsorship by contributing $275. Every sponsor is guaranteed a framed original artwork. Proceeds from the show go directly toward the RAI's effort to promote fine arts in our community.

Here is how it works: the entire collection of donated paintings in oil, watercolor, and pastel will be on exhibit both online and in our galleries from April 10 through May 7, 2021. The collection is on display for sponsors to create a "wish list" of their favorite paintings. An Opening Reception will be held on April 10th - 11th. We will be adhering to all Covid safety guidelines including a staggered entry to the building. The culmination is our Gala Drawing to be held on Friday, May 7 at 8PM. Sponsors can attend in person or via Zoom. Each sponsor gets a number which, when randomly chosen, allows them to choose one of the pieces on display. All framed artwork in the collection sell for considerably more than 275$
