SAG’s 2023 Calendar

“Light in the Valley”

A great day was enjoyed during the opening reception for SAG’s 2023 Art Calendar “Light of the Valley” held at 3rd St. Gallery on May 7. Over 75 people were in attendance, viewing the art, having a chance to ‘paint’ a mandala, good refreshments, and listening to some good music. The winners of the People’s Choice Awards went to Lorie Batson for her oil painting, “Nothing Works” and a photograph by Scott Dankof for “Wet Mountain Valley Lights.” They both tied for first place. Congratulations! Pictures of the winning artwork are below.
