Paoli Hospital Auxiliary's
Fine Art Show in Newtown
Square to Feature Works
of Local Artists

he restored Barn at the new Liseter community in Newtown Square (formerly
the John DuPont estate) will be transformed into an art gallery the weekend of
September 15th-17th for the Paoli Hospital Auxiliary's Annual Fine Art Show.

The show will feature the original works of approximately 50 locally and regionally
known artists, as well as selected modern and contemporary art from the collection
of Devon Fine Arts. A percentage of art sales will benefit Paoli Hospital, part of Main
Line Health, and will help fulfil the auxiliary's annual pledge to the hospital. Jacayln
Beam, a nationally known Brandywine Valley artist will be the show's featured artist
this year. The leading sponsors of the show are Rubin Fortunato, a large Paoli-based
boutique law firm specializing in employment law, and Devon Fine Arts, also located
in Paoli.
"Last year's art show was well received by everyone who attended, and we look
forward to a great turnout once again this year," said Carol Rabe Palmer, Paoli Hospital
Auxiliary President. "We are pleased to present the beautiful work of local, national
and international artists as we host a lovely evening at Liseter. We welcome everyone
in our community to join us for an evening of culture and to support this worthwhile
cause."
The event kicks off with an Opening Night Gala on Friday, September 15th from
6-10 pm at The Barn at Liseter, the community's clubhouse. Admission to the event
is $75 per person and includes a full bar and hors d'oeuvres. Saturday and Sunday
afternoons (1-4pm) the art show will be available to the public and admission is free.
Attendees throughout the weekend will have the opportunity to purchase any of the
art displayed as well as raffle tickets for an original Jacalyn Beam painting, specifically
created for this event. Raffle tickets cost $15 each or three for $30.
"Along with Jacalyn Beam, we are excited to present the works of local and
regional artists, many of whom will be at our Gala on September 15th to talk about
their work," added Jen Curry, an Art Show co-chair. "All types of media will be
displayed including oils, watercolors, mixed media, photography, glass, metal and
pottery..... We encourage everyone to come out and support these artists. In
addition, Devon Fine Arts has one of the largest modern and contemporary art
collections in this area and will be showcasing artists such as Picasso, Miro, Chagall,
Basquiat, LeRoy Neiman and others. You won't want to miss this event!"
