Art is Blooming in WV!

Art is blooming in WV! With the weather becoming nicer, people are starting to get out to see what's new in our area. We have new pansies planted in our window boxes & it is so nice to see their bright faces every morning as I arrive at the gallery. The trees in downtown Fairmont have been blooming and every where you look to see signs of new growth both in nature & in the business world. Work on the downtown connector from the interstate is coming along nicely so soon you will be able to get off I79 & be only 1.5 miles from downtown Fairmont! Easy off, come shop and eat, then easy back on and on your way! We have a few new events to tell you about...first, we will be having a book signing by Fairmont native Jeannette Macdonald on Sat. May 23 from 10-2. Her new book, The Girl From Gladden Street, is a group of essays about her early life in Fairmont including her struggles with a dysfunctional family. It is a book about struggle and hope which speaks to each of us in some way. I also want to tell you about a new art school opening in downtown Bridgeport called Winter's Art & Soul. She is offering classes to adults and kids in watercolor, drawing and other media. Take a look at her website for further details, www.wintersartandsoul.vpweb.com. I guarantee you will have great fun! Just a reminder-let us know if we can help you with gift ideas for graduation or weddings. We have many affordable & unique gifts we can help you with. Until next time! Vicki
