Beryl’s Reception

My Retrospective exhibits, in Sudden Valley, were a great success, with numerous paintings being sold. Beryl would like to extend hearty thanks to “The Committee of Angels”, who put together a wonderful reception. (Sarah Lane, Heather Thomas, Virginia Heaven and Stephanie Strong)

Thanks also go to Heather Thomas, for doing the photography, Lee Langdon for working on publicity and Robbie Drabek for website postings, as well as all of the folks who attended. And of course, thanks to the Valley Arts Group for making it all possible.

Gratefully,
Beryl Adams

Remembering Christine Flacco

Published on July 20, 2018October 12, 2018 by Dena Weigel Bell

Last year we lost a talented and creative member of the Valley Arts Group. Golf and art were two of her passions. Friends of Christine created an auction gift basket for the women’s golf service project. The basket included art books, art supplies, free membership to the Valley Arts Group, golf rounds and other items. Funds from the silent auction go to Hospice.

We miss you Christine!

The VAG poster committee distributed the Barn Posters to Lynden, Fairhaven, Bellingham and the Sudden Valley area to invite more people to come and view our Quarterly Arts Exhibit. The posters were well received and the merchants were eager to post them. In fact, the Whatcom Allied Arts is planning to include our poster in their upcoming newsletter.
