THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Judy Arrigotti
Hello Members,
Hello Members,
WOW! It’s been an incredible month for EDHAA’s members, Board members and committee chairs. Together, we’ve managed to provide amazing opportunities for our members to display and sell their art and for our community to see, appreciate and purchase art from local artists. Everyone wins!
Currently, It’s possible for members to have their art on display in Town Center at the Teaspoon shop, at the Atrium Gallery and at the Sunday Market. On October 18th, 53 artists showcased their art at the annual Fine Arts Festival.
These events wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our EDHAA volunteers. We owe our THANKS to our committee chairs for organizing the artists and monitoring the displays: Ken Mahar & Bob Anderson for hanging, Oranne Eichorn -chair for Teaspoon, Cindy Abraham (Chair) , Karen Cogan & Ken Mahar- Atrium Gallery; Sally Marshall- Chair for Sunday Market; Bob & Melissa- Fine Arts Festival; Linda Smith, Spike Mills- Studio Tour, Annie O’Connell- Studio Tour Preview, Membership Show. Thanks to Nina Watkins for making the Town Center events possible.
