After many years, Helen Moriarty has decided to step down from her current position on the CAS Board of Directors as Programs/ Publicity Coordinator. Helen is a long-time member and Past President of the Chelmsford Art Society, and has been instrumental in its formation and continued excellence.

For many years, Helen brought professional artist demonstrators to our monthly meetings to provide our members and guests with valuable information on a variety of painting and other artwork techniques.

Helen introduced the community to numerous artists and their various talents, from acrylics to oils, from inks to pastels. Other program subjects included art lectures, art restoration, and framing and presenting artwork. Via Helen’s filming of our demonstrations, she introduced the broader community to art as local television stations aired the CAS programs.

An artist herself, Helen’s wisdom and creative output were a large part of our July 4th events as she organized its many aspects, and always happy to contribute wherever needed – from decorating for the event to selling tickets for our fundraising raffles.

In recognition of her many contributions to the CAS, Helen was twice winner of the Founder’s Award (1995-1996 and 2013-2014). We are grateful for her many years of service to the Chelmsford Art Society and we wish her well! Thank you Helen!
