Your Wednesday Review continues after this brief message. Thank you to our sponsor, The Cloudcroft Art Society:

CAS meets Sunday, June 14, 1:00 p.m. in the Old Red Brick Schoolhouse. CAS always welcomes new and returning attendees anytime, and one doesn’t need to want to exhibit or sell art.

CAS will have its ‘cooperative’ Art Gallery open every Saturday in June from 10 to 3 in the Red Brick building, with a dozen juried artists exhibiting pottery, lithograph prints, paintings in all media, fine art photography, smaller, affordable reproductions of original paintings and photography, gourdcraft, woodcraft, fused glass, other whimsical creations, and art cards.
