Last night the art center was buzzing with activity! In the main gallery, we had our first 5 Card Draw with Tammy Mize! Participants drew five cards from a special deck that Tammy provided. Then they drew and/or painted a picture that incorporated all of the elements on those cards. It was a fun way to challenge yourself artistically.

We will do it again on October 1 and have room for more folks to join! Free for members and only $5 for non-members. We will post the sign up link in the comments soon.
