The Norwin Art League is a
nonprofit organization that has provided art
enrichment and art education to the Norwin
communities since 1954. The League is one of the
largest in Western Pennsylvania with a membership of
over 180. Our members range from the experienced
professional, to the talented amateur, to the
“Sunday painter”.
The Norwin Art League offers
art classes and art workshops year ‘round except
for a break during the Christmas holiday and bad
weather months of January and February. Classes and
workshops are available for the beginner to the
experienced, adults, and children. Each season
offers new workshops in a variety of mediums from
drawing, oil painting, watercolor, and pastel, to
jewelry making and even airbrush.
The Norwin Art League
exhibits its members’
artwork
at two annual shows and year ‘round in seven
different venues including Forbes Regional Hospital
and local restaurants. Many of our members have sold
their artwork through these venues.

Custom Picture Framing by Dave Rawlins
D ave has temporarily suspended his mat cutting
workshop due to health reasons. Rawlins Framing shop is
still open. Dave offers a full line of quality framing
services and supplies. Telephone number (724) 744-4531. Dave
now has a shrink wrap machine and can now wrap matted
pictures. Pastels and pencil drawings should be sprayed
before matting and shrink wrapped, if you want to sell them
unframed.
Membership Drive
T he art league
presently has over 150 members. This year we‘d like to
double our membership, partly to increase our revenue but
also to promote our wonderful organization to the community.
In spite of the fact that the Norwin Art League has been a
part of our community for 54 years, there are many people
who have no idea we exist. We’re asking you to sign up one
new member this year. Maybe a parent, son or daughter, or
good friend who is interested in art but has never belonged.
A $25.00 membership or $40.00 family membership makes a
great gift especially for someone who‘s hard to buy for.
With their membership they’ll receive all the newsletters
and workshop flyers throughout the year. They‘ll also be
eligible to exhibit and sell their own artwork at any of our
7 venues. The Norwin Art League is one of THE BEST art
organizations in Western Pa.
Library Books
Our library is over stocked and sadly under-used. We are
making available a number of lightly used art books for
sale. Stop into the league for details.
Newsletter Downloads
A copy of the
July/August
2009 newsletter is available for
downloading.

We would like to start sending your bi-monthly newsletter
by E-mail to those of you that have computers. This would
save the Norwin Art League a lot of time and money. You
