Being hopeful in the midst of adversity is a very real struggle for all artists.


Every time they stand before tubes of paint, a blank canvas, or a lump of clay the artist must be eternally optimistic. “What will come of this?” the artist asks themselves.


Placing aside all distraction, including fears and insecurities, true artists have a need to create with purpose and focus. There are no guarantees that the hours of work will produce a masterpiece or something worthy of a gallery wall. Ultimately they know that they will bare their souls for those who will judge what they deem worthy to collect.


We are immensely grateful for our artists and what they bring to the world. Their works inspire us to live fuller and richer lives.


This spring we invite you to view an incredible body of art created by new artists to our fold, Bob Doucette and Fabio Napoleoni.


We are excited to take a journey with longtime artist Michael Flohr within his exhibit “Postcards From Around The World.”


Please join us at our events and bring your friends and family!


We truly appreciate your support of the arts!
