Michael Cagno at Cape May County Art League General Meeting April 18

On Friday, April 18, beginning at 6:30 p.m., at the Old Historic Court House on Rt. 9 North in Court House, the Cape May County Art League (CMCAL) will hold its 2008 General Meeting.

Speaking at the event will be Michael Cagno, Executive Director of the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville.
Cagno has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art with a concentration in painting and Art History, and a Masters Degree in Museum Studies, as well as several Graduate Certificates.

Cagno will bring his extensive and varied background into play as he speaks on “Inside a Judge’s Mind.” He will focus on the key elements of art, but also will give importance to that first impression of a work of art, which hopefully engages the viewer in further discovery. CMCAL Board members will be introduced, scheduled events will be announced, and there will be opportunity for suggestions regarding Art League future activities. Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome.

New Arts Magazine for Delaware Valley

Envision takes a long view of the visual arts. The vision includes all flavors of expression: fine arts, gallery pioneers, commercial practitioners, museum champions – and a nod to the many niches in between, like architecture, the culinary arts and even sand sculpting.
Envision brings you up-close and personal to artists, galleries, museums, arts organizations and more – the dynamic, collaborative tapestry of individuals keeping the arts alive.

We cover the arts with our natural sense of inquisitiveness and humor. We’re not art critics or self-appointed experts – but we know how to discover a good story and deliver it to the reader with a fun, informative and entertaining style.
