Our show at WKNO- Gallery 1091 came to an end. We would like to thank WKNO for having us, Amy McDaniel for her sweetness and keeping the whole show rolling, Darel Snodgrass for judging the show, our volunteers and you, the public who came to see the show and bought some pieces. Of course, thank you to our artists. We would not have had a show without you who created some amazing pieces. THANK YOU again and see you next July 2027 for another show at WKNO Gallery 1091.
