Others will find it difficult if you won’t share. So… let me hear from you! Tell us all some of your
personal, helpful experiences; give your best tips or ask questions about problems or concerns you may
have.
I’ll start off by telling you something that I found. This is one example of information which is not
necessarily easy to find.
We all know the importance of the quality of your photos. Some of us can take our own stills or
slides but with a new professional innovation, pictures can be obtained which far exceed any up to now.
A photographer I know will take great CD’s, slides, prints and also has equipment which gives him the
ability to photograph your art pieces while being rotated. This can be particularly great for display on
your web site, for submissions to galleries or jurors in competitions and exhibitions who will now be
able to see your work from every side. This photographer will come to your studio to take as many
pictures as you wish without the hassle of transporting your statues to another location.

Return to the Acton Library for a Summer Show
We have contacted the Acton Library in Old Saybrook and they are delighted to have our sculpture
show there again this summer. The library has a very large influx of people on a daily basis during the
months of July and August, and we are fortunate to have this opportunity again to show in their light
and airy main room. Watch your mailboxes for the show details—submission of photos, jurying dates,
delivery and pickup of accepted works, etc.
(We are always on the lookout for venues for shows. Please let John Molloy know if you have any
suggestions about possible future places to show – at Johnmol3@aol.com.)
Thanks for the Support!
A special thank-you goes out to those members who have supported the Society of Connecticut
Sculptors with a financial contribution above and beyond the basic membership fee this year. (Some of
these people have been doing so for years.) The Society wants to recognize their gifts.

OUR MEMBERS SHINE!
Congratulations to Louise Wiley and Corina Alvarezdelugo for their recent successes with their
work. On April 22, Louise attended the reception and unveiling of her six-foot-high bronze of an
osprey swooping up a fish in its talons. It was commissioned by the owner of the Saybrook Point Inn.
The sculpture now adorns the entrance to the inn. The owner has also commissioned two 42”-high terra
cotta pieces of Viscount Say and Lord Brook (for whom the town of Saybrook was named) and those
pieces will be inside the inn, in the restaurant.
Corina Alvarezdelugo is showing her work at the Interlaken Inn and Conference Center in the
Northwest corner of the state – in Lakeville, on Route 112. The opening reception was on May 10th.
The exhibit will continue until September.
