This May, the Rehoboth Art League will mount five exciting art exhibitions of varying mediums, styles, and techniques. From May 9 to June 8, the league will display solo exhibitions from abstract painter Martha Spak, mixed media artist Kim Klabe, ceramicist Susan Gladstone and assemblage artist Tim Barton, as well as a showcase of Howard Schroeder sketches from the RAL Fine Art Collection.
The league’s historic Homestead building has reopened for the season and will remain accessible to the public through the end of October. RAL’s iconic Doors of Fame, which feature the signatures of more than 285 prominent artists, creatives and notable citizens from the art league’s history, will be on display throughout the summer season. The Homestead building will also host “Studio Time: Sketch Group Paintings by Howard Schroeder.” In 1949, Howard Schroeder started the Open Studio Sketch Group, today known as the Howard Schroeder Sketch Group, to give artists an opportunity to gather once a week to sketch or paint live models, an idea inspired by a group he had belonged to as an artist in New York City, his birthplace. Selected works for this exhibition depict these weekly sessions. Schroeder created thousands of sketches and paintings, many of which are now part of Rehoboth Art League’s Collections. The sketch group remains active today and is open to interested artists by reservation.
On the evening of May 9th from 5-7 pm, the art league will host an opening reception for its exhibitions, inviting anyone interested to visit the Corkran, Tubbs, Ventures, and Homestead galleries to see these new shows. Learn more about all of RAL’s exhibitions at rehobothartleague.org.
