My local art group

Twenty-six years ago I founded this group, The Art

League of Germantown (www.alog.org).

I am thrilled that it has continued to thrive. We now

have 79 members and as you see from the photo here,

we have great attendance at our meetings. This

beautiful room is the art gallery at the

BlackRock Center for the Arts

(www.blackrockcenter.org)

At this recent meeting we had what we call

"Show and Tell". We do it regularly and it is a

wonderful way to keep each other up to date on

what we are doing. It provides us with a sort of

accountability and motivation to continue to

produce new work. It is always a great pleasure

to see the new pieces members are working on.

This group remains a very large part of my life. I

started it because I was new in the community all those

years ago and wanted to have other artists in the area

to share with. I also had the intention to help artists as

I care so deeply about us all and I want us to do well

and stick to our dreams.

Please look at the website for our group which is the

first one in this post. Then you can visit the site of

our wonderful art center that opened here 6 years

ago. Our group and the center are partners in many

wonderful and productive ways. How great is that!
