Dear Friends and Fellow Artists,
June 16th brought us a beautiful day — everything cooperated to make our Artists in the Garden tour a big success: the weather and plenty of friends to take the tour. We heard a lot of complimentary comments!The preparations took a lot of effort, but it was worth it. Thank you to all our volunteers but especially to June Roche, our dedicated and tireless chairperson, who handled so many details with a smile — thank you, June you are the best!
I would also like to thank Maureen Young for handling the registration, Nancy Burkholder who dealt with the food and Paul Vien who organized the Artists and set up the reception exhibit and Barbara Chadwick for all the great signs she produced so nobody would get lost! And of course a big thank you to all the gracious owners of the homes and gardens on the tour, the hostesses and 21 artists who lend so much interest to this event. The end reception in Sarah Dejardin’s beautiful yard was a sight to see with everyone gathered and lots of good art around. This was the true Westport Art Group Spirit at its best!
Our next events coming up are the participation in the Open Studio Tour July 17 & 18, the Community show July 22 to August 1, and the Open Studio Tour August 21 & 22. Let’s hope all these events are as successful as this last one!
Enjoy the summer
Heide Hallemeier
