Art League of Henderson County in Hendersonville, NC, Features Exhibit by American Women
The Art League of Henderson County will host the exhibit of works by members of The National League of American Pen Women at Opportunity House in Hendersonville, NC, from Feb. 5 - 28, 2006.
The National League of American Pen Women was established in 1897 to provide an organization for women of the press, who were at that time, denied membership in the National Press Club. Fifty professional women writers, composers and artists finally obtained a legal charter in 1926, and since that time membership has reached 4,000 women.
The Western Carolina
Branch of the League was established in 1980 with Joyce Blakely
of Zirconia, NC, as president. Most of its members are visual
artists, but writers are well represented too. The organization
has been exhibiting biennially for the past several years at the
Transylvania Arts Center in Brevard, NC. The group is happy to
be returning this year to Opportunity House.
Art League members exhibiting their work with the Pen Women are
Joyce Blakely, Dean Landriau, Cynthia Moser, Bettye Paden, Rita
Peranio, Ruth Sampson, and Gerri Schwake. In addition to the visual
artists, several area writers will show their work.
