Spring Show “Art from the Heart” Winners

Artists, Dale Hoopingarner, Deb Ryan, Diana Maley, Diane Choquette, Dick Fotland, Helene Mohn, Lenora Palanzi, Lisa Beausoleil, Margaret (Peg) Munson, Marjorie Sardella, Pam Warren, Patricia Thomas, Sally Brodi, Stephanie Miksis, Susan Pratt Sheridan, Tina Guarino, Victor Pisini

The lights have been dimmed, the curtain pulled, and we’ve had to send home all of the interesting and varied art shared with the talented members of the Franklin Art Association, wrapping up a successful show held over the weekend of April 21-22 at the Black Box Theater in Franklin.  It’s a lot of work to pull together a show like this, with setup/breakdown just being perhaps the most visible aspects, but incomplete without the planning, coordination, communications and related activities to make it a complete experience.  Thanks to all of our members and friends who helped create this event.  Much work, but smiles all around as a result!
