MSHAC may have to cancel shows in 2011

Wanted: MSHAC Trustee for Exhibitions

We need a volunteer to curate MSHAC shows this year. This is the main reason people join our organization. We offer four or more opportunities for our members to show their work in top notch venues in the area. Venues like the Paper Mill Playhouse and Community Theater in Morristown are much sought after places to exhibit. We may have to cancel our shows in these locations if we don’t have someone to coordinate them. We are recognized as one of the best art organizations in northern NJ because of our exhibitions. We need someone to chair this effort or to volunteer to chair one of our shows. Without volunteers we may not be able to continue showing in these venues. If you want to help please contact our president, Anastasia Mancuso,  or call 973-425-0592.
