The ExPort show and reception

Today was the closing reception for the ExPort show at the Castle Rock library.

Today it snowed.

Those of us that made it to Castle Rock had a great time.  Seven of the ten artists were there, some with husbands, some with family.  Thank you to Will, Patty, Stephanie, Don and Sierra for joining us.

We cancelled our Dec meeting because it snowed. At that meeting, we had planned to take a walk through with the group to hear about each piece from the artist.  We did that today and it was so nice to hear about the evolution of ideas and techniques from the beginning concept to the end results. Interesting background and stories were shared and enjoyed, making the experience all the more meaningful.

The 2012 show at the library and this show have validated the artists in our group and inspired even bigger dreams.  Both shows have been very well received by the public and the library staff.  Many of our members have visited the show on several occasions bringing friends and family members.

Our group is an art group, a group of artists with many different mediums and techniques in their box of supplies and a support system.  I think each of us has grown through the group and through the shared experience of this show.  I am pleased to be a member and to have such good friends.
