Artist's Reception for Maplewood Artist Dorrie Winslow

As part of its 3rd Saturday Arts program, the Ethical Culture Society of Essex County will feature the work of local artist Dorrie Winslow. Her work will be on display through the end of January.

The Ethical Culture Society of Essex County is a progressive non-theist religion dedicated to living ethically in a complex world. Found in 1876 and established in Maplewood in 1945, over the years the ethical culture movement (known as The American Ethical Union) has been instrumental in launching Planned Parenthood, the NAACP, Visiting Nurses, New York Settlement House Fieldston School, and National Ethical Service at the UN. The Society began a long-running Ethics for Children program and most recently Time Essex Exchange (a time bank facilitating the exchange of services) among other initiatives. The Maplewood Society was the first peace site in the country. Its motto: to act so as to bring out the best in ourselves by bringing out the best in others.
