We hope you've enjoyed viewing these amazing pieces by our amazing artists.  There's even more to see at the Gallery and on our online shop and, of course, watch this blog for updates on artists, shows, sales and events.  Our next event?  The upcoming 8th Annual Wearable Art Show, opening on December 6th. We'll be back in a few days with all the info on that.

But in the meantime, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for helping the Gallery have a wonderful 2013; we can't wait to see what 2014 will bring!  To all of you from all of us, Happy Holidays!
