Valentine Art Show
Friday was a beautiful evening for the well-attended Reception.  However, by Saturday afternoon, blustery showers forced the show to be temporarily dismantled.  It was remounted on Sunday, but again cold wet weather caused an early closure at 2 p.m.

Spring Show
The annual Spring Show (March 18-19) was once again a great success.  A large crowd at the Member's Reception (March 17) enthusiastically bought many pieces of art work.  A new feature was held in the lovely decorated entrance tent; coffee, donuts, and guitar music for the Sunday morning visitors.

Our thanks to our resident photographer, Dr. Russ Stewart.  He began our web site five years ago and diligently recorded our events and exhibitions.  We now have another webmaster, Bruce Komusin from Cranberry Island, Maine and Venice, FL.  Dr. Stewart has kindly agreed to continue to furnish photos of our activities.  Additional photo submissions of Art Alliance happenings will be considered.  Please give them to our director, Carlene Stewart.

Student Show
First show in our new headquarters a great success!
The first annual Student Exhibit (April 8-9) was a first for the new Art Center, as well.  Over 50 art students and their instructors showed paintings, mosaics, baskets, jewelry, sculpture, quilts, and textiles in the well-lit facility.  All the rooms were used for the exhibit, as well as the outside deck.  The exhibit screens were hung from the ceiling, allowing exhibits to cover the windows.  Carlene and her helpers hung it very attractively, and it was easy to view the art works.  Everyone marveled at the quality of work done by our students.
