The Plastic Club’s annual member’s exhibit brought out the best in the historic art club’s world class creations; from oils, to drawings, to watercolors to digital media, the Plastic Club allows each member to enter two pieces which were then juried and honored with awards.  The receptions at the Plastic Club are always fun and with the new six burner stove in the basement kitchen Bob Jackson’s monthly dinners are extra special.

The Plastic Club offers free membership to several student artists each year.  John Baccile, an undergrad at the University of the Arts, won first prize for one of his digital compositions (not this one).  The digital collages are printed on canvas and truly stood out from the crowd with vivid color, original compositions and masterful computer manipulation.  UArts is DoN‘s alma mater, it’s gratifying to see wonderful new talent continuing to thrive on the Avenue of the Arts.
