Weather Did Not Slow The Crowds Or Sales For SCAN

Even with icy conditions during the opening evening of the Society of Creative

Art's "Color in January" Show and Sale at Lexington Gardens in January, the

group show has been deemed a "great success" by SCAN president Pamela

Danneman.

A large crowd showed up for the show's opening reception on January 15, and

visitors were reported during the run of the show throughout the week.

"In spite of Nature's thwarting our every move, the show at Lexington Gardens

was a huge success!," Mrs Danneman wrote in the February 1999 edition of SCAN

Ink , the club's newsletter. "Many people remarked that the quality of the

show was one the best SCAN has sponsored."

For the January 15-27 event, 49 member artists entered a total of 166

paintings. Of this number, 26 of the artworks sold for a total sales gross of

$5,870. Net proceeds to SCAN members was $4,696. The majority of the paintings

that sold were in the $100 to $200 range; five paintings priced over $300

sold, including two in the $800/900 range.
