summer months.
EAST HALL EXHIBITS
ORGANIZER: Carolyn Murphy
WHERE: East Hall, on the upper level of the Community Center
WHEN: Approximately 10 shows per year. Most shows are for one month.

PAINT and PASTELS CLASS
ORGANIZERS: Carel Hedlund and Jeannette Anders
WHERE: Community Center, Arts and Ceramics Studio
WHEN: Wednesdays, 10:00 am –12 noon
DETAILS: Instructor Sally Thomas usually designs a project for the newcomers that she will demonstrate and help students to achieve. For returning students, there is always the option to learn something new or use the time to improve or finish an ongoing project. In either case, Sally is there to answer questions, give advice, and provide encouragement. This group works well in close proximity and can offer each other ways to see with fresh eyes. Participation is limited to about 10, given the size of the room and the need for working space.
