IMPORTANT UPDATE: AWARDS RECEPTION HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Because of increasing numbers of COVID related illnesses in and around our NFWS community, recent exposures, and our concern for everyone’s continued good health, we have come to the conclusion that we must cancel the Awards Reception planned for this Saturday, May 21, 2022 at the Artists Group Gallery, One Linwood Ave. Buffalo, NY.
Our Awards Judge Shelley Prior will be judging this afternoon (Thursday, May 19th) so we will be able to share her award choices with everyone here, on line and at the Exhibition. Award notifications will be placed next to each award-winning painting in the next few days. 
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding, knowing that we are all disappointed but that we cannot proceed without considering the health and safety of all our membership and the arts community. 

 We hope you will come in to see the exhibition at some point as it will continue to be on view through June 3, 2022.

Here’s the program for the exhibition. We will provide an insert with the award winners soon!
