Six new tapestries arrived for Maximo Laura's exhibit

July 1st the last 6 tapestries arrived. So if you can to the Maximo Laura PATH TO THE SUN AND MOON opening in June, you have another reason to come see this exhibit.

They are wonderful. Whether you want earthtones or brillant color, these have everything. The colors just jump off the tapestries.

Come see these! We are open Tuesday - Sunday 12-6pm. And we'll be having another reception! July 17th, Sunday at 2-5 pm.... and a special sale of these tapestries.

Bucket List

We're 60 years old. Well, the building is 60 years old and the roof is 60 years old. The roof has seen some wear and tear. We've given it a few facelifts and some treatements but the time has come for major surgery.

We have a donation jar to help us out and this week a generous lady gave us $200 toward our roof fund.

Follow this benefactor's lead. Donate wherever you can if you like what we're doing in Manchester and greater Richmond for the arts. Oh, our bucket list? It's to have no buckets necessary to catch the rain inside the building!

End of the Year Thoughts

We've wrapped up 5 years of being Art Works - Studios and Galleries.

I've taken these few weeks in December thinking about "what next"? I am all about being all you can be, doing your best, shining like a bright star. So since Art Works is my passion (the art, the business, the people) I pass on all these "do your best" requirements to the gallery.

Really, it's more than a gallery (not to worry, not going into a marketing spiel here)... It's an entity. It's energy and so it's a living thing. Ideas go into it and become manifest. Now here's the rub, keep the ideas positive and keep the ideas open because that way it can evolve into something beyond our imagination.

So what's next? I'm kicking around how to be the connection between the artist and the patron. Recession -smeshing . . . if you want it (art), you will get it (art). So stay open and stay positive and stay happy!
