The Arts Councils goal is to help the community appreciate the importance of visual art in our community. Join us in fostering and promoting the visual arts through fine art instruction, professional gallery shows and events.
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Sightings Like you, I am simply a human being trying to understand the insanity of the world I was born into. Like many of my fellow humans, I have had to deal with issues like politics in 2022, love, marriage, sex, children, joy, fear, pain, separation, covid, death, severe panic attacks, the epic struggles of life as a mid-level bureaucrat, etc.
The objects and images that I create are tangible responses to the issues and ideas that I am trying to understand. For me, the creative act and the process of making is always a learning experience and quite often the object or image that I create changes me as much as I change it.
