STREET GALLERY CLOSING – Sun Jan 26. We might be closing the doors but at the
request of friends we will try to go out on a high note with a party for all
the visitors and artists who have made these last three years so much fun.
You are invited to join us for wine and music on Sunday,
January 26th between 1 and 4 pm (or perhaps a bit later.) No
football game that afternoon so no excuses.
Herb Boxhorn and others will provide the music and if you
were to bring a small plate of finger food it will only add to the pleasures of
the event.
We hope you can join the party and look forward to seeing
you around the galleries and on the Art Trek in the future.
