All items at the Show, including the Juried Works, Small Works and Portfolio items, will be available for purchase. They are submit- ted by the artists represented in the Show. This is an opportunity to own the work of an artist whose work is "up and coming" at a reasonable price, while supporting THS. The Society earns a small percentage of all items sold during the Show. Jurors of the Show will be Michael McFadden, an artist/educator, and his wife, Doris Ettlinger, an illustrator/artist. Michael's work abstracts, re-imagines and transforms poignant moments from the river environment where they live on the banks of the Musconetcong River in Hampton, NJ. Doris, a watercolorist, has illustrated over forty children's books. The Show continues through Saturday, October 12. Public viewing and sale takes place on Saturday, October 5, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Sunday, October 6, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Monday through Fri- day, October 7-11, from 12 noon to 5:00 pm, and Saturday, October 12, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Open Cupboard continues with its "rebuilding our neighborhood" campaign and in that direction, we have been able to secure space to open our thrift store once again! As the volunteers and staff are busily renovating the space and making room for our shop, we will stop collecting thrift donations. Our space is overflowing and our hearts are full with all the generosity from the community in these last few months. When we reopen on 8/1/24, we will resume donation collecting at that time. Please hold on to your valued treasures and we can't wait to see you on opening day! Find out more at: www.OpenCupboardFoodPantry.org.
