As a long time LeMoyne Arts board member and the artists' representative, I recognize the importance of having a local venue dedicated to the visual arts. With a new exhibit nearly every month and classes for children to adults, you need to visit LeMoyne! I exhibit my latest ornaments at the annual holiday show as well as my wood jewelry and other items in the gallery shop. We are excited about the upcoming improvements being planned for our downtown location. Stay tuned for more news!

The Chain of Parks Arts Festival is held every year in April in downtown Tallahassee, typically on the third weekend of the month. Featuring over 160 artists from around the country, it is a lovely event in the beautiful downtown Tallahassee Chain of Parks. Every year the Chain of Parks organization develops new enhancements. Check out the website. 2022 marked my thirteenth year participating.

After a one year absence, I returned to the Three Rivers Arts Festival in 2019. It is always a great opportunity to see friends and family and experience art and music in a wonderful setting. I first exhibited there in 1976 and look forward to going back whenever I can.

I am returning to the Downtown Festival and Art Show in 2022. Held annually on the streets of downtown Gainesville, I look forward to returning to where I lived for 17 years. Look for me in booth 35 on South Main Street near University Avenue November 19 and 20 with new trees, bugs, and birds.

Market Days is an annual fund raising event for the Tallahassee Museum. Join us in 2022 on December 3 and 4 at the Leon County fairgrounds. Over 300 vendors come stocked with items suitable for holiday gifts. Hope to see you there!
