The Pomona Cultural Center announces the Summer exhibition, "Summer Dreaming"
June 14 - July 26, 2008.
Featured artists are from SALUTE, an organization that supports women in the arts. The group
is composed of professional artists presenting artwork in painting, drawing, hand-pulled prints,
photographs and sculpture. The group has created special works for this exhibition representing
the essence of summer. The opening reception on June 14th will also feature a live flamenco music
and dance performance. The artists of Salute are mostly professional artists who exhibit their
work widely. The group was established in 1974 and has over 120 active members. Both men and women
are members, although the group is predominantly women from Bergen County, N.J., Rockland County, N.Y.,
and surrounding areas. The group sponsors four art exhibitions annually, in addition to art
workshops and general meetings. The members frequently meet in each other's home to critique
their artwork. Their support extends to the community in the form of scholarships they provide
to deserving high school art students planning to focus on the arts in college.
Opening Reception | June 14, 2008 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Pomona Cultural Center will also present another flamenco performance featuring
Pomona's Deputy Mayor, Ian Banks. An accomplished guitarist, Mr. Banks has focused on the music
of the flamenco performance, and performs frequently with his dance troupe throughout
the New York area. The Pomona Cultural Center is proud to present this unique and special
performance again.
