      ALL TOGETHER NOW      

Exhibition

July 12th - September 16th, 2018

Ever wonder about what kind of work our volunteers do?  Sure they give of their time and talents but what  kind of artwork are they creating.  That is the wonder of NWS. Not only do we volunteer our non artist time, we still are working hard to follow our own goals and passions as artist.  When the call went out to participate, no one hesitated just like when we need a helping hand. You will find an array of work from past presidents, board members and many of our volunteers. We are planning to continue this show in the coming years.  The show, like our chosen medium is going to be very fluid pieces that will be changed throughout the exhibition.  So, it will be fresh and interesting.  Some are our local stars, others from far away.   As always, when the call goes out "All Together Now" we step up.  And more than anything else a big thank you to our volunteers...come join us!

Consider sharing your time and talent.
