Making art part of life

Thank you to everyone who attended our opening reception for the Fall exhibit at Fareways in September. Every time a piece of artwork sells a new piece goes up --- so always look around for something new when you're visiting Fareways!

Hold the date! Our next exhibit at Fareways will open with a reception on Saturday, January 18 from 2-4pm.

In the meantime, our Fall exhibit will be on display through the holidays - so pick up a piece of art as a gift for a friend, family member, or for yourself! Click here to view the price list for the current exhibit.
