Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Art Institute will hold it’s 70th Annual Sponsor Show on April 16 through May 5, 2023. A benefit for the Ridgewood Art Institute, this show is a major source of funding for the Institute each year. The Ridgewood Art Institute is grateful for your past support, and we hope you will continue to help meet the challenge of providing fine art education classes, exhibits, and special programs.
The Sponsor Show is the most popular annual event, providing sponsors an opportunity to acquire a beautifully framed original painting from among the collection donated by our outstanding artists and instructors. In addition to beautiful landscapes and still life’s, several of our professional artists offer the chance to commission a portrait or pet painting. The first 80 people who declare their sponsorship by contributing $275 or $400 are guaranteed a sponsorship for this year. Proceeds from the show go directly toward the Institute’s effort to promote fine arts in our community.
Here is how it works: the entire collection of donated paintings in oil, watercolor, or pastel will be on exhibit from April 16-May 5 . The collection is on display for sponsors to make a wish list with their favorite paintings. The show is open to visitors during any class time. Contact Barbara Johansen for any questions – johansen37773@gmail.com. The entire collection is also available to view online. Please see out website. Our $275 sponsors have one chance to be called (for one painting only) Our $400 sponsors have 3 chances to be called (for one painting only).
Once again, the Ridgewood Art Institute is offering gift certificates. You can become a sponsor yourself, and you can purchase a gift certificate for a friend or family member to join you as a sponsor. A personally selected painting is a wonderful gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, weddings, or any special occasion.
