Art @ Affair of the ART

On Saturday, November 19, Studio Montclair will celebrate its 25th year with our 4th annual 'Affair of the Art' event. This is SMI's biggest and most successful fundraiser - which we were unable to hold since 2019, before COVID. Money raised enables us to support our Art Academy, galleries, programs, and services throughout the calendar year. This year the event is being held at the beautiful Women's Club of Glen Ridge, and we anticipate a large and diverse crowd of art lovers, supporters, and collectors.

The art auction will be a widely publicized and exciting component of the evening, and we plan to showcase a wide variety of artwork created by talented SMI members. This is a great opportunity to expose your work to new audiences while supporting Studio Montclair through your participation.
