Our Gallery Exhibits
In mid-2008, we moved our offices from one location to another within our building. The resulting space was then turned into a Gallery which now displays a new exhibit every few months.

Realism or Not
July 1, 2009 - August 22, 2009 |
Realism or Not will be featured in our gallery from July 1 through August 22. A group of women artists working in different media and highly individualized styles, each with a distinct point of view. Media used by the members include oil, acrylic, watercolor, glass, wood and mixed media. Art can be mainstream, sidestream or totally outside the realm of normal experience, but if it's well done, it's worthwhile. Although the artists cannot claim to be pushing hard against the boundaries of modern art, each is constantly pushing her vision and media to the farthest extent she can reach.
Artists include: Christy Andres, Jean Apgar, Molly Dillon, K. Dyer, Linda Johnson, Sue Mount, Cam Roberts, Mary Rosandich and Peg Sowle. |
