Abbey Allen in paintings, Helen Jones in wood carving, Nancy Stevens in people drawing, Felicity Redgrave in animal drawing, Bruce Campbell in canvas painting, Larche artists in papermaking, Michel de Noncourt in sculpture, Greg Melchin and his brother in a drumming workshop and Ann Comozzi in silk painting.

Thank you to the artists who took time to not only be present but to engage in demonstrating and asking participation from the visitors.
Art reaching the community at the ground level as our GAPACC mandate.
Thank you specially to Tila Kellman who coordinated this GAPACC Exhibition Committee event. Let’s all be back next year !
