GREAT RIVER CHAPTER CELEBRATING SILVER EVENT - OUT OF THE WOODS

Our GRC Chapter Celebrated Silver by attending the opening of ‘Out of the Woods’ at the University of Minnesota Arboretum. Twenty GRC members attended the celebration. Prior to the start of the program, GRC members in attendance gathered for a group picture and Celebrating Silver memento.

The exhibition contained amazing artwork with wide ranging subjects and varied mediums, including a beautiful piece from GRC member Linda Medved-Lufkin.

The program offered tours guided by Wendy DePaolis, Arboretum Curator, and Marylin Garber, GRC member. Linda Medved-Lufkin, GRC member, shared a watercolor demonstration.

Carol Woodin, the Director of Exhibitions at ASBA, provided a verbal and visual experience of the work that went into Botanical Art Worldwide, the initiative last year that brought together 25 countries on six continents in order to celebrate the world’s plant diversity. Quite an undertaking! Carol had complementary comments about the GRC chapter.

Following the talk, botanically inspired refreshments were served.

This exhibit will run through August 13, 2019.
