The eggs will incubate at Art Works for one week until they are transported to William Jeffrey Jewelers for a preview party. They will finally hatch at the Easter Seals Eggstravaganza auction, at the Children's Museum, March 8th. This is the 4th year that Art Works and Richmond artists donated their time, talent and energy to support Camp Easter Seals.

WALKING ON PAPER by Clayton Singleton
Clayton Singleton comes to us from Norfolk, Virginia.
His work "is about transition…cycling from one place or phase to another…a continual transition whether physically, spiritually, mentally or emotionally. Mr. Singleton believes that " we are a reflection and a result of each other regardless of our differences. Our arts should explore, experience, then express life from our own viewpoints; creating until our experience has become our expression".
In working with the artist we have had some unusual requests for his exhibit: things mentioned where a sliding board and sand! So we are curious as to what exactly he has in store for us!
