Museum Director’s Notes

By Debbie Benson, Director

“And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.”  Oscar Wilde

   Preparations for the Fundraising Dinner Auction on September 26 are possessing our activity calendar these days. Members have donated some adventures and artworks that are sure to please! We are gathering wonderful items that our friends and members have donated.  This becomes a creative opportunity for those of us making baskets. The shopping for those little extras is interesting and all a part of the excitement. We hope you have the chance to come be a part of the evening! It should be a great time with friends. Tickets are available in the Gift Store or from the event on the website. Sponsorships are also available!

   Thank you to all of the Matching Funds Donors and those who matched the funds! We met our goal for July. It was a bright spot as we hit records in the heat of the daytime temperatures outside. You all made a difference.

   It was inspirational to meet some of the new artists joining our amazing returning artists for the Open Studio Tour in October! The local artists put so much into preparing for guests to their studios. It’s always exciting to take the Tour on October 24 & 25.

   Please be safe in the heat and carry water with you! 

   Be Well
