Remembering Ann M. Rebello
Ann M. Rebello, a North Dighton artist who was instrumental in the founding of the Dighton Arts Festival, passed away earlier this year. As an exhibitor at the Dighton Arts Festival in its early years, Ann beautifully displayed her passion for art no only as a means of personal expression but also as a way of bringing people together. An avid gardener, the move of the Dighton Arts Festival from the Dighton Lions Club Pavilion to the greenhouses at Araujo Farms in 2007 provided a perfect forum for the display of her work.
Ann was also instrumental in the founding of the Taunton Art Association. At a celebration of her life at the Association headquarters this summer, friends, fellow artists, and family gathered to share memories and view an impressive collection of her work. Ann’s family and the Taunton Art Association established a scholarship fund in her memory by accepting donations for her work at the celebration. Her painting of a bowl of strawberries caught the attention of a member of the Dighton Arts Festival Committee who obtained it as a fitting remembrance of her important role in the Dighton arts community. Strawberries are an important part of Dighton’s history and a prominent feature of the Dighton town seal. The painting will be raffled at the Festival with all proceeds going to the Ann M. Rebello Scholarship Fund.
The Dighton Lions Club dedicates this page to Ann’s memory. In doing so, we celebrate her life and contribution to the founding and success of the Dighton Arts Festival. She will be long remembered not only for her extraordinary talent as an artist and her passion for the arts but also for her love of family and community, her kindness and gentleness, and her great sense of humor.
Donations to the Ann M. Rebello Scholarship Fund may be sent to the Taunton Art Association, 42 Williams Street, Taunton, MA 02780. Please make checks payable to Taunton Art Association and write “Ann Rebello” in the memo field.
