Vanguard Artists Members Art Show

I wish to invite anyone interested in seeing what some of your Vanguard Artists have been up to recently. Out artwork will be featured in an art show at Sun City Grand Art Club on February 5 and 6. Vanguard members included in this art show are:  Ruth Malins, Barbara Lang, Sharon King, Diane Eason, Susan Roper, and Ann Stubenrauch. We have all been working very hard to provide new works for this show and welcome anyone to attend.

Since it is reported to be a cold weekend, we will have the coffee pot on and cookies waiting your presence! Hours are:  Saturday 9-4:00 and Sunday 9-3:00. This will allow fitting the Superbowl into our weekend!
