Do”

Note:
Northwind
Arts Center will be closed for maintenance from January 2 – January 18.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your
continued support in 2006. Our
committees are working hard on new shows, workshops, poetry readings and other
arts programs for 2007. (A good New
Year’s resolution might be: “I will
volunteer a little time at Northwind Arts Center
– it sounds like fun.”) Have a
wonderful holiday season, and the best to you in the New Year.
Gallery Happenings
“Small Expressions V”
Northwind Arts Center Showcases Smaller Works: December 1 – January 1
This juried show features
small format fine arts and crafts and provides an opportunity for holiday gift
shopping. Paintings, prints,
sculpture, photography, jewelry, basketry, assemblage and digital media were all
represented in last year’s well-received show.
“Small Expressions V”
will be
juried by Michael McCollum. Now
residing in Sequim, McCollum was a professor of Art at University of
Nevada
and a past Dean at the Cornish School of Arts in Seattle.
His own artwork is widely exhibited and is represented in many
collections including the Renwick, Brooklyn, and DeYoung Museums.
