2025 ART SHOW
This fall, Woman’s Society has something new and exciting in store. Instead of hosting its annual fall rummage sale as it has done for decades, Woman’s Society will be hosting a two-day Artist Exhibition & Benefit on Oct 17 & 18. The event will kick off with an adult-only wine and cheese reception on Friday, October 17, from 7-8:30pm. (Admission is $10 per person.) The exhibit, comprised of works by approximately 20 members and friends of the church, will continue on Saturday, October 18, and will be open – free of charge — to all ages from 10am-2pm. From 12-1pm, watercolorist Jess Root will lead a watercolor workshop for children ages five and older. (The cost of the workshop is $5 per child.)
The benefit will conclude on October 18, with the announcement of the silent auction winners from 1:30-2pm. Just as with the rummage sales, profits from the exhibition will be donated to numerous charities close to home and around the globe. The event will take place in Plymouth Hall, which is accessible via the north elevator behind the Light Court.
Co-chairing the event are long-time Woman’s Society members Nancy Sutherland and Diana Johnson. As Nancy Sutherland explained, “We have so many talented artists in our congregation, we thought it would be great to showcase their work and raise money for charity at the same time.”
Diana added, “We’re really excited about trying something new, though admittedly, trying something new can be a little nerve-wracking. Ultimately, our goal is to be able to continue to support the many charities that have counted on our financial assistance over the years. Our help is more critical now than ever.”
Our all-church rummage sale will return in April and will continue as an annual, rather than semiannual, event.
Advanced sign-up for Friday’s reception and Saturday’s children’s watercolor workshop is requested. More details and sign-up links will be available in September. Until then, we hope you’ll mark your calendar and plan to join us for this enjoyable and awe-inspiring event.
If you aren’t able to attend the exhibit but would like to donate to Woman’s Society, please do so here.
