Our President’s Message
D
ear CLWAC Artists,
I am thrilled to welcome you to the 126th Open Annual Juried
Exhibition of the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club. This year we had entries
from artists from 24 states from around the country, entries from Canada and
from as far away as Greece!
Artist Laureate Members Naomi Andree Campbell, Gabriela Gonzalez
Dellosso and Claudia Seymour served as jurors of selection. Judges of awards
include Caroline Elenowitz-Hess Research Assistant, American Paintings and
Sculpture, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, John Varriano. Painting and
Drawing Instructor at the Art Students League and The Woodstock School of
Art, Elizabeth Allison -Expressive Watercolor Instructor at The Art Students
Karene Infranco President since May, 2020 League and Michael Keropian –Professional 昀椀gurative sculptor for nearly 50 years.
New this year, we introduced a small works show that will complement our Open show. This show was also
juried by our Artist Laureate members. This is an exciting opportunity for our artists to showcase some of
their more diminutive selections.
Also new this year, the Club received a generous donation in the memory of past president and watercolorist
Dorothy Benz Dallas. Dorothy was passionate in her pursuit of abstraction so for the 昀椀rst time CLWAC
will be o昀昀ering an annual prize worth $2000 for excellence in abstract art.
In the spring we held our annual luncheon at Wave Hill Gardens. In addition to lunch on the veranda, our
artists enjoyed an entire day of plein air painting in the gardens overlooking the majestic Hudson River.
We would like to thank the Salmagundi Club for hosting this year’s exhibitions. We also would like to thank
our patrons, the family of Dorothy Benz Dallas and the Meeker Rom Foundation for their generous support.
Finally, I personally would like to thank all of you for supporting Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club.
With gratitude,
