The Westfield Art Association will be holding a special
event at First Congregational Church at 125 Elmer Street on Sunday, November 22. WAA members & friends are invited to join us on that date as we
celebrate the artistic life of Betsy Lee Styskal, a long-time member of both
FCC and the Westfield Art Association, with a silent auction of her artwork,
art supplies & art materials.

For those of you who did not know Betsy, she was a noted
graphic designer and a prodigious painter, drawer, printmaker and bookmaker. She
was passionate about the quality of her tools and materials, and worked in
three separate studios that she built into her charming home in Mountainside.
Betsy knew that she would not live forever, and could not
bear the thought that her art supplies would one day end up unused or in the
trash. Over the past month, we have carefully moved Betsy's art supplies - including brushes, paints, papers, tools, books, drawing tables, artist lamps, Macintosh monitors, printers, etc - to FCC and readied them for sale to our members & friends.
We hope that you will join us in FCC's Ketchum Hall
at 1pm on the 22nd. There will be a small
presentation on Betsy made by Brooke Gardiner, followed by the sale of her
artwork and supplies. This is a marvelous opportunity to purchase high-quality
artist tools and supplies at a fraction of their original cost, so we hope to
see all you art enthusiasts and encourage you to invite any young student
artists to join in this special event.
This silent auction & sale will be a fundraiser for the Westfield Art Association.
