Garden Center
This year’s
Tagawa Gardens event has a RMSBA artist show and sale, so get out those
transparent display bags (and price stickers) and start stuffing! Note that
management has waived the 10% fee on sales, but will collect the taxes. Don’t
forget the workshops: Shading and Watercoloring for Kids, and Doodle Art for
Tweens & Teens, mentored by Sharon Garrett and Patti Hearn. Other local
artists also are conducting workshops, so be sure to check them out as we enjoy
the music and the Rocky Mountain Highland Dancers. As always, we can talk up
our organization and how we showcase our artists.
About the
art work: we can’t hang framed pieces, but can sell prints, note cards and other
botanically-themed articles. If you’re coming to the festivities, do let us
know: send an email to Patti Hearn at pattihearn@hotmail.com by August 17; the sooner the better to
make this event a success for us. More details will be provided to
participants.
