| | | Art sales for February and March were a bit softer this cycle, with 12 framed pieces and 13 unframed works finding new homes. Even so, it’s encouraging to see continued enthusiasm for our artists’ work during a period of economic uncertainty. Warm congratulations to everyone whose pieces were sold. The Gallery is delighted to add the fine woodwork of Ben Housiaux to our craft collection. We also extend a warm welcome to new exhibiting artists Wendy Pollard and Pamela Green, as well as to our newest Gallery committee member, Christina Allen. Meanwhile, the gallery itself has had a little glow‑up. A fresh paint renovation (see below) has brightened and refreshed the entire rear section, giving the space a cleaner, more inviting atmosphere for visitors and artists alike.
