Girls Just Wanna Paint The James!

 

      The 150th Anniversary of the James Library & Center for the Arts celebrations continue with a special Exhibition and Silent Auction Fundraiser featuring the work from nine accomplished and award winning artists that make up the group “Girls Just Wanna Paint.”

“Girls Just Want to Paint the James!”  Opening Night Reception & Party will be held on Friday, June 21, 2024 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public.

In keeping with the 150th Celebration, each artist of “Girls Just Wanna Paint” will be creating a piece of art using their individual perspective and style to capture images from in and around the James. All pieces will be offered up for auction during a Silent Auction from June 21, 2024 to August 9, 2024. All of the artists will also be exhibiting work of their own which will be on view and available for purchase.

“Girls Just Wanna Paint” was founded by Kelley Carey MacDonald in July, 2009 to create a supportive space for artists to share information, resources, opportunities and support for one another. Since its inception, the group has had a variety of artists who have been part of the group which fosters a strong sense of camaraderie, mutual respect, collaboration, courtesy as well as a unique openness and an enthusiastic and vibrant sense of fun that this group has become well known for. The “Girls Just Wanna Paint” group self-describe themselves as “A group of Boston-area painters who love to paint and have fun!”  A description that captures the essence and well-earned reputation that this wonderful group of diverse artists embody, excellence & a whole lot of fun!

“Girls Just Wanna Paint” is made up of members: Founder, Kelley Carey MacDonald of Providence RI, Victoria (Tori) Chesley Brega of Pembroke, Pamela Copeman of Scituate, Sally Dean of Marshfield, Margaret Farrell Bruno of Marshfield, Jeanne MacFarland of Hull, Page Railsback of Scituate, Jody Regan of Marshfield & Mary Sheehan Winn of Marshfield.
