Art League of the Chathams \u2013 2026 Fall Art Show Opening Reception<\/h2>\n

Submitted by Khaya Peluso and Jennifer Duteil<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Art League of the Chathams warmly invites the community to the opening reception of \u201cLights and Shadows: En Plein Air Group Show\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Lundt-Glover Gallery in the Chatham Township Municipal Building.<\/p>\n

Admission is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Artwork is available for sale.<\/p>\n

The Lundt-Glover Gallery will present En Plein Air paintings by Art League members and other local artists, while the adjoining Exhibit Hall will host the Art League\u2019s main Fall Art Show. The exhibition will include artwork in a variety of styles and media, with works available for purchase by the public.<\/p>\n

En Plein Air is the practice of painting outdoors, directly from nature and in natural light. The technique is closely associated with the celebrated French Impressionists, who sought to capture the changing effects of sunlight, atmosphere, color, and shadow.<\/p>\n

Through the theme \u201cLights and Shadows,\u201d participating artists explore how natural light transforms landscapes, architecture, and familiar community settings. The group exhibition celebrates the spontaneity of painting outdoors and the individual ways artists interpret the world around them.<\/p>\n

The Art League is also developing a Youth League through its Family Membership program, encouraging children and families to participate in exhibitions and creative activities. As part of its commitment to emerging artists, the organization proudly offers the annual $1,000 Rosemary Howlett Scholarship to a Chatham High School senior pursuing a career in the arts.<\/p>\n

We welcome individuals and families from the community who are interested in joining the Art League, exhibiting their artwork, supporting our youth programming, or contributing to our nonprofit organization.<\/p>\n

For inquiries, please contact Khaya Peluso or Celeste Fondaco through the Art League\u2019s contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\n
