THE SISTERS PROJECT UPDATE
by Margi
The Sisters Project Book is 147 pages of full color photos of
artwork: some finished by my sister, Donna, and the rest by 57 collaborating
artists that completed Donna's art to honor her memory and raise money for
charitable causes and arts organizations.

There will be wine, punch and refreshments in the gallery and a Jazz Band concert in the Gazebo adjacent to the historic building that houses the art gallery. It should be a lovely evening to honor my sister, Donna, and the work of all the collaborating artists, I truly hope that all of you will be able to join me at the reception. Plan to make it a special evening, There are several restaurants in the area and it will be a nice opportunity to meet the collaborating artists.
