ART SHOW THANKS

An overwhelming thank you to each of the 36 folks who participated in this year’s 6th Annual Shy, Novice & Closeted Art Show. The show was delightful! This year our participants included local restaurant and hotel owners, teachers, cooks, tattoo artists, bank tellers, school-aged folks to retired ages 6 to 86, and many more, shy, novice and/or closeted artists.

An extended thanks to Faye Russell, Jim Schiebe, Mary Sweatt, Bill Patrick and Janna Kibbe for helping accomplish the “to do” list, to Bess Mahoney for the bounty of foods, and to all the persons who gave a helping hand, brought hors d’oeuvres, hung art, swept floors, mowed lawns, and composed flower bouquets.

Thank you to the Mahoosuc Arts Council and to the Bethel Performing Arts Project for your support and for holding the vision that a healthy community includes great art. And to all of you who attended the Art Fair on the common, watched the Porch Plays or visited the Shy, Novice & Closeted Art Show— your showing up makes it a great day! Thank you!

Up dates are coming to our web-site www.squidoo.com/shy-art.
