Please share!

Our beloved friend Charlie has been in the hospital recently due to complications of an autoimmune disease called Myasthenia Gravis. While Charlie and his wife Betty are usually the ones giving—their time, help, and hard work—right now they could use some help. The bills for Charlie’s hospital...

Due to unforeseen circumstances we must cancel Art on the Lawn 2018. We’ll be in touch individually with registered artists.

BUT—don’t fret—this has inspired us to reinvent and reimagine our beloved arts festival for 2019. Stay tuned!

In the meantime we’re looking for members (artist members and board members), especially those who consider themselves more traditional makers and craftspeople—woodworking, hand quilting, instrument making, etc. Message or stop by a meeting to learn more!
