Shows
 
The Courthouse — 
May — Andy Nowlen
June — Rochelle, Anne, Chris and Carla
There are no open spots for the rest of the year.
 
The Art Center — 
I’m seeing who is interested in showing at the Art Center on Pearl.  This is NOT a sure thing, but if we have enough interest, I’ll see if we can get a show up.  Right now, there are five interested.  We could probably use a few more.
