It’s time for Food, Fun and Fabulous Art celebrating October 5, 2024 from 11 to 5!  Noelle Charles is our Featured Artist this month. She has been a freelance art director with her beginnings in scenic and mural painting.She will be at the Cort Gallery with other artists. With her love of creating a vibe, it makes perfect sense to invite other artists and make it a community showcase at the Cort Gallery. After visiting the studios and galleries in Three Rivers, stop by Cort Gallery, and sing along with Diana Glass.

Friends of the Three Rivers Library Book Sale – Art and Craft books and so much more at the Three Rivers Library!  Take what you like, donate what you can. 

Several studios will be open. My Handweaving by Nikki, up on the South Fork, is where I have 6 looms, each with a different project. I will offer new handwoven towels, shawls, Mug Rugs and other creations.  Just down the road from me on the South Fork is the ever-popular River Water Pottery Studio & Gallery where Anne & HJ Brown make their beautiful handmade pottery. Be sure and ask to see HJ’s stunning photographs. They will amaze you!  Here you will also find Jami Beck with delightful jewelry, gourds & Macramé items.
