Inside each of us is a Wild & Crazy wanting to get out. Sometimes it does, maybe it is socially subdued, but this month, give it breadth to find expression! August heat can sometimes bring out the crazy and the long days can inspire the wild! We look forward to what pieces are entered with this very fun and expansive theme. We will be offering a free activity~ so bring your family! Don't miss this unique opportunity to paint tile magnets with alcohol ink. Vibrant and fun and right in the theme of Wild and Crazy! Take them home once they dry. Listen to the beautiful strings of Fresh Apples and take in the vibrant and joyful artworks of our featured artist, Tanya Carder. Bob Fulton, an avid and active supporter of the community is our Community Award person. Bob hosts Big View House Concerts, a wonderful way for locals to enjoy eclectic music from all over!
