East Aurora Art Society
"Art by 25 members of the E Aurora Art Society is on exhibit at the Aurora Library, 550 Main St, from now until November 22, 2024.
The public is asked to vote on their preferences in the glass case in the lobby and the community room using ballots in the community room. The first place artist will earn a gift certificate from The Dog Bar, and a blue ribbon. Red and yellow ribbons will be awarded to the second and third place artists, respectively.
Free admission, with free parking at the library, and Main Street.
The Art Society sends its thanks to the Aurora Library staff for all their help with setting up our show. And the Art Society volunteers made the entire setup process go very smoothly, as always.
Our meetings are the second Thursday of each month from September through June. We meet at the EA Senior Center at 101 King St at Oakwood Ave, at 6:30pm. The public is welcome.
