Village Artisan, Libby Rudolf , has a art show coming up.  ColorfuLibby - Watercolors for CFI will be at the Yellow Springs Brewery from Dec 23, 2015 - Feb. 1, 2016.  The theme of the artwork comes from many walks in Glen Helen Nature Preserve and along the river here in Yellow Springs, explorations in other parks and the caribbean.  15 percent of proceeds will be donated to Community Food Initiatives of Athens, who work with farmers and donations to insure food security, educate people about cooking and health, run programs for youth to help them learn about raising food and seed-saving projects.  Libby's daughter Melanie has interned with them and continues to volunteer.  Mary Nally who runs CFI will attend the reception on Dec. 30!

NEW EXHIBIT AT VILLAGE ARTISANS

During the month of October, Village Artisan member Ann Bain will be exhibiting a show called "smallWORKS,”  a collection of calligraphic pieces done over a period of years. In Ann’s words, "Sometimes inspiration comes on tiny feet instead of humungous, stomping ones ... listen to the small."

The Village Artisans Gallery, 100 Cory Street in Yellow Springs, is open from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 12:00 to 5:00 on Sunday, and 11:00 to 6:00 on Friday and Saturday. A reception for Ann will be held on Friday, October 16, from 6:30 - 9 at the gallery.
