SUMMARY:Song Circle
DESCRIPTION:Third Sunday of each month 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm\n(Tony Apostolaros 732-237-2041) \nThe Guild requests a $3 donation to the Guild at each session from each person who attends the session. \nWe take turns around the circle singing songs and maybe singing or playing along. We sing folk songs\, pop songs\, and hymns\, and sometimes we have an improvised music jam. The only rule is that it’s all acoustic\, with no amplifiers or microphones. Everyone is welcome to take a turn in the circle\, or just to listen. If you come just to listen\, feel free to bring a quiet activity such as sketching or reading. Free\nHere is a song sampling\nEvery time I come to the song circle it changes my mood. When you don’t feel like going is when you really should do it.\n– Mary Lutton

SUMMARY:Drawing with Joseph Rogine
DESCRIPTION:1:00 PM – 3:00 PM \nThis class is being offered to ages 12 and up! \n$20.00 for members per class \n$25.00 for non members per class \nInstructor: Joseph Rogine \nThese classes are designed for both beginning to advanced students who want to sharpen their skills in drawing. I have taught students for over 25 years who have never picked up a pencil to draw to those who have been quite advanced. \nIt is an academic course\, (academic being defined as that which can be taught). Drawings are created by copying master drawings\, simple to complex still-life objects and classical plaster casts. The student usually begins by copying a master drawing that is supplied to them. \nAll students start out using graphite pencils with grades of 2H HB 2B. The capabilities and limitations of drawing materials and drawing instruments are discussed at length along with their proper handling. Classes are essentially about learning how to see nature and the world as an artist sees it\, through the language and medium of drawing. \nThe student’s eye will gradually become trained and sensitive on how to compose a layout on the page\, assessing proportion\, elementary perspective\, gauge angles\, identify shapes\, access the degree of curvature of forms\, locate hidden movements and linear rhythms\, the structure and modeling of form and the study of light and shade. This opens a whole new world towards a visual literacy that was very common in school curricula 100 to 150 years ago. \nDepending on a students’ progress and particular interest repeat students are free to experiment with various drawing mediums like charcoal\, pastel pencil\, pen and ink etc.\, along with the drawing surfaces applicable to their chosen medium. Joseph Rogine supply list 2024. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Joseph Rogine at 732-349-6859\, or by email at info@ocartistsguild.org.

SUMMARY:May Gallery Reception
DESCRIPTION:MAY GALLERY RECEPTION \nMay 3\, 2026 \n1:00 PM – 4:00 PM \nMembers Studio:  “Familiar Faces” \nGallery 1:  Keith Alan Spaar Sr. \n \nArtists Statement/Bio: \nKeith Alan Spaar Sr. is a New Jersey-based fine artist whose work explores light\, atmosphere\, and storytelling through painting.  With a background in illustration and creative development\, he brings a strong sense of design\, craftsmanship\, and observation to each piece.  His work often draws from the natural world\, especially marine subjects\, wildlife and scenes shaped by shifting light.  He is particularly drawn to creating larger paintings\, often enhanced with metallic leaf to add luminosity and depth.  Through his work\, he aims to create paintings that feel both stricking and contemplative.  Spaar is a member of the Ocean County Artists Guild\, the American Society of Marine Artists\, the Guild of Creative Arts in Shrewsbury and T.R.A.C. in Toms River. \n \n \nGallery 2:  Debra Kurtz \n \n \nArtists Statement/Bio: \nI am very pleased to announce my oil painting exhibition opening for the month of May at the Ocean County Artist’s Guild on May 3’rd between the hours of 1 and 4 pm.\nI’ve received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at New York’s Parson School of Design and built a career in graphic design at AT&T and Equitable Life Insurance.\nI’ve pursued my passion for painting and drawing throughout the years and was fortunate to study with master artists at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\, The Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster NJ\, the Princeton Academy of Art and The Florence Academy of Art in Jersey City NJ. \nI was a onetime board member of the Ocean County Artist Guild and presently enjoy painting at the guild with fellow artists.\nMy passion for the arts is lifelong\, and I feel each new painting I undertake leads me to new discoveries. I am particularly interested in interpreting the captivating beauty of nature whether the subject is a floral\, landscape\, or species.\nVincent Van Gogh once said\, “In all nature I see an expression and a soul.”\nI hope my paintings remind us to take a minute to absorb the natural wonders that so often surround us.\nPop-up Gallery:  Atlantic Shore Woodturners
