2021 Sketch Group Exhibition
The John Rettig Awards for excellence are given each year to the highest quality of work submitted to the Sketch Group Exhibition. This is done to honor the legacy of Sketch Group in the founding of our Club and its rich history supporting artists’ development. Three submissions are so awarded and their author’s names are displayed on plaques hung in the public areas of our clubhouse.
