What does family mean to you?

painterDon’t say it–paint it!  Or sketch, sculpt, knit or photograph it.

The Morris Area Clergy Council is sponsoring an art show at Morristown’s Temple B’Nai Or from Feb. 12-April 1, 2013. Artworks should reflect “The Spirit of the Human Family.”

Artists must be at least 18. They can keep 75 percent of proceeds from sales of their works; the rest will go to the Community Soup Kitchen. Don’t dawdle: Entry deadline is Jan. 25 Feb. 1, via the artist’s congregation.

Here are details, from the Clergy Council:
