Take the Leap!...

ART LEAP, that is. Venues are fewer and farther between for this February event, but the excellent quality of ART WORK abides.

Three downtown businesses are keeping the doors open from 5 to 8 pm on Friday, February 15 to celebrate ART!

1. Three Rivers Women's Collective & In Cahoots! Gallery (109 N. Allen) will host an opening reception for the "Masks" Exhibit. This show will include a variety of masks created by area artists. The public is invited to vote for their favorite mask in three different categories: Most Original, Most Whimsical, and Overall Best of Show. Voting will begin on the 12th of Feb. and go through the 23rd. Local musician Charles Stacey will share his talent during the reception.
2. B & B Bridal & Tuxedo Junction (228 W. Main) will feature the work of two local potters. Evelyn Smith will show her miniature creations and Nancy Tso will show her functional pieces. Stop in and support these artists new to the downtown event.
3. Wal-Art (422 W. Main) will highlight the work of local encaustic artist Michael Billie. and, yeah!...the Wines of the San Juan will be on location with tasting and sales. Munchies available in all locations.

C'mon...you can do it! Weather forecast looks good for that leap!
