Cloisters Gallery News and Current Show
A big THANK YOU to all who helped put on our recent Creative Spirit Show of Fine Art and Craft. The behind-the-scenes volunteers, under the leadership of Louise Jones, brought it all together to create a wonderful community experience. Thank you to the artists who showed their work, and to all the people who came to see it. The silent auction at the opening gala raised enough funds to keep the Cloisters Arts Program funded for two years, until the next art show; Cloisters is entirely self-funded and offers all its programs free of charge. Thanks to everyone—and keep creating!
The current show in the gallery, “Kids in the Cloisters,” stays up until April 25. Please come check out the creative works of our Westminster young people if you haven’t yet! You may visit the gallery Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Fridays, 9 a.m. to noon; Sunday mornings; or by appointment.
Looking ahead, the next show in our gallery, beginning April 27, will be “The Art of the Doodle.” This should be really fun! Anyone is welcome to submit a doodle piece for this show. Contact Sally Woolley for details. Please call the church office if you need her contact information.
