Puddlejumpers supports ECCA!

We are pleased to announce that ECCA was chosen by Puddlejumpers to receive 5% of sales from a new line of clothing!

Puddlejumpers of downtown Exeter, a children's clothing shop, is now selling a line of clothing called TownWear by BER. This would be clothing such as t-shirts, hoodies, & ball caps that have a graphic related to the town of Exeter, NH. Shop owner, Cheri Smith, has chosen ECCA as the sole beneficiary of this fundraiser. Many, many thanks, Puddlejumpers!!

Get on down there and get your TownWear! They are stocking newborn all the way up to adult sizes. From what I hear, it's not staying on the shelves very long....

Community Arts Series Resumes Tomorrow Night!

When: May 18th, 2010
Where: ECCA, 30 Linden Street, Exeter, NH (the old Exeter High School, now called the Tuck Learning Campus)
Time: 6:30-8:30pm

ECCA's Community Arts Series resumes this month with artist Sharon Price. Sharon lives and works in the southern NH area, painting on site in locations all over the Great Bay of northern MA and seacoast NH to create paintings of these treasured wetland environments.

Sharon works are traditional in approach; she strives to achieve a balance between both realistic and impressionistic painting styles. She exhibits her artwork in outdoor and juried art shows throughout New England, and at galleries in both Manchester, NH and Wellesley, MA.

Discovering the excitement of working "en plein air" has changed the quality and mood of her paintings dramatically. Sharon believes that painting on location adds an entirely new dimension to her landscapes. "The paintings have an excitement about them, because they truly capture a moment in time. Painting under the constraints of time, changing weather and light forces me to focus on the most important elements of the subject. I can't get distracted by small details or portions of the landscape that won't allow me to achieve what I am striving to communicate".

The evening will include a slide presentation of several works in progress with time for questions and discussion. Sharon will also have with her a few paintings for up-close viewing.

The Community Arts Series with Sharon will be a culmination of her oil painting talents. We hope to see you there.

The Community Arts Series is free and open to the public. Please call ahead to reserve your seat, as space is limited.

Refreshments will be served!
