This non-juried show offers all current members the opportunity to display up to three original artworks of their choosing. We call it a “salon” since our enthusiastic members may have us hanging art all the way to the ceiling. Don’t miss this chance to show everyone what you’ve been creating. Mark your calendars for the opening reception – it’s the best kind of party, where everyone shares a common interest and is excited to talk about it. Mimi Stewart is the fiber artist who created the pillows in the photo above. They are entitled Heads Up and received an honorable mention in the 2012 juried show.

Treat yourself to an indoor garden of over one hundred works of art and fine craft inspired by or designed for use in the garden.
