Saturday night’s opening reception drew a huge crowd of art lovers. The weather was very kind to us, and it was great to see people chatting on the steps again for the first time in months. The artwork was well received, and we’re looking forward to Saturday’s art talk by juror Patterson Sims (details below photos). Staats Fasoldt’s luscious new watercolors glowed from the solo room, the new Towbin Wing exhibit was popular, and our guests enjoyed the Small Works and the student exhibit (students of WAAM member Patti Gibbons) downstairs.
