WHAT'S
HAPPENING AT WISHING SPRING GALLERY IS HAVING
|
To take advantage of the traffic that will be flowing past the Gallery, thanks to the Spanker Creek Arts and Craft's show, Gallery Director, Deidre, came up with the great idea to put together a Wishing Spring Gallery Art and Craft show incorporating both the Gallery and the Studio behind the gallery. Deidre has been hard at work putting the show together and this Friday and Sat, May 2 and 3, the doors will open at 9:00 (as opposed to regular gallery hours of 10:00). Lots of new things to see, so be sure to be there to support Village Art Club's Wishing Spring Gallery! |

ALWAYS TO REMEMBER TO CHECK WHAT'S AND CRYSTAL BRIDGES AT THE MASSEY! http://massey.crystalbridges.org/ It's not every day, year, or even even at all, that a museum of the caliber of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is built in your own backyard so you might want to keep abreast of their progress! In the meantime, Crystal Bridges at the Massey (on the Bentonville Square where the old library used to be) is hosting visiting artists, exhibits, free classes and more! A few of our members recently participated in a couple of the classes held by visiting wildlife artist, Susan Morrison from Eureka Springs, and had nothing but good to say about their experiences!
