On Sunday, August 20th, from 1:00–4:00 PM (rain or shine), a dozen or so local artists will show their paintings of local scenes.
En plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors and working in the natural light.
It is an annual event that began five years ago when several plein air painters from the University of Delaware’s Academy of Life Long Learning decided to create a venue in which they could view each other’s work. The event is
neither juried nor a sale—it is simply to enjoy art. Come out and enjoy the meetinghouse grounds, the art work, and light refreshments. Contact Ruth Thompson for questions at 610-486-0760.

Fallowfield Friends Meeting extends an invitation to all Friends from the Western Quarter to the Ramsay Annual Picnic on Sunday, July 19th at 4:00 PM at the Ramsay home and gardens located at 2460 Strasburg Road, Coatesville.
Please bring a potluck dish. Contact Chet or Jean Ramsay at 610-384-0514 for additional information or directions.

Also at the Anson B. Nixon Park on Saturday, July 25th from 1:00–2:00 PM.
Kennett Friends Meeting’s Sara Bowers Fund was used to offset the cost of bringing Daria Marmaluk-Hajioannou to
the area for a free concert. She has traveled the globe, learning, sharing, and making music while building communities
and encouraging a new view of hope and peace for all the world’s children.
