Artist Showcase, Crystal River Mall, Florida



            This past week has been busy – some good and some not so good. On the “not so good” side, an older couple we are close to had some serious medical problems that we all worked through and are still in the process of resolving.
            On the “good” side, I participated in an exhibition this past Saturday. The Crystal River Mall just north of the town of Crystal River, Florida, sponsored an Artist Showcase exhibition along with its usual twice monthly farmer’s market. This was the first time the mall sponsored the Artist showcase, and that was all due to the brainchild of Becky Nolan, the Mall’s Events Coordinator. Becky did a fine job and the Exhibit seemed to be a big success. She hoped to get a few local artists to show off their works and I believe she wound up with around twenty. We had a good time and met many people, had some good conversations about art and the mountains of the Southern Appalachians. Some very good artists also participated. The event was successful enough that Becky has decided to do it once a month.
            Hope everyone has a good holiday!
