October

Unity by the Bay

Gallery by the Bay (at Unity by the Bay) will be featuring four local artists in their September/ October exhibit. Meredith Dedman will be doing the very first public presentation of her art. Meredith is proficient in charcoal, acrylic painting and watercolor, and her offerings promise to surprise and delight us. Carol Howald, local award-winning artist will grace the gallery with her oils on canvas. Toni Inman's delicate detail with colored pencil makes her images come alive under her creative touch. Jeri Baumgardner will bring the spirit of aloha to this coast with her renderings of life in Hawaii on hand painted silk. Reception for the artists is open to the public, and will be held on Saturday, Sept 9 from 5-7 pm at Gallery by the Bay, 2100 Union Ave in North Bend. Each artist will be donating an original piece of art for the raffle at 6 pm. The music of Cate and Donny Roze (The Love Messengers) will be provided along with refreshments.
