For the Love of Rivers Show

Betsy Butler chats with Norm

 Last night a group of my fellow artists and I celebrated the completion of a process of hanging, advertising and and hosting an opening reception for an art show, For the Love of Rivers, which will hang at St. Mark's on the Mesa, the website until February 24.

 This show is a co-operative benefit fundraiser with some members of the Adobe Whitewater Club for the Children and Youth Ministries of St. Marks.  Eight pieces of artwork were sold.

One of our projects is sending a child, who has a parent in prison, to Grace Camp at  Camp Stoney website where they will go Whitewater rafting at the end of the week.

A Closer Look

Celia's Work Get a Lot of Attention

A Young Art Fan loved the cookies and punch, took a brief look at the art, and found the grand piano much more to his taste.
