Hi Margie~Orcas Issues, Thanks so much for posting this for us, and Thanks to the Senior Center for the space to exhibit artists’ work!
I remember how excited Ed was – calling all the people that he and Glenna,
Ann (Reardon), Marty and Josie and Mary Ann and others, had selected to invite
any painters or arts and crafts types they knew to help establish a group that could meet occasionally to share problems (technique etc.). They would meet at each others homes and gradually they branched to shows at Orcas Center and Orcas Senior Center. The show at the Senior Center is really great and I hope that lots of the community sees and enjoys it.
