Tuesday: Holiday Art Fair

Our creative arts council held our second annual Holiday Fair in our town's community clubhouse. We had an okay turnout of purchasers, and filled twenty artists' tables (although some definitely fit more into the "crafts" category). It was a lot of work, a lot of fun, and I'm very glad it's over for this year, especially as the secretary, I've been the one organizing the artists, planning who will be showing what where, and dealing with time changes and some rather persnickety artists at times, although the vast majority have been lovely and definitely had a good time.



An overview of half of the clubhouse, with Teri playing Christmas music for all to enjoy. The food table was very popular, as was the coffee, hot cider, and cocoa.



David showed his plein air oil paintings for the very first time tonight, and he sold not only his first painting ever, but his second as well. He (and we) were thrilled!



Margo's work is incredible. She's also on the art council board (co-treasurer), and she's a lot of fun as well as an amazing and meticulous artist. I'll put other samples of her work on my Extras blog -- see sidebar.



And here are Myrna and Judith, the heart and soul of our council. Myrna (in the wheelchair) is our children's coordinator, and Judith is our associate director. This whole baby (the art council) was her brainchild, and she's a terrific poet as well as a wonderful friend. More photos of the art fair will be on my Extras blog.
