As a long time LeMoyne board member and the artists' representative, I recognize the importance of having a local venue dedicated to the visual arts. With a new exhibit each 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 in the gallery shop. We are excited about the upcoming improvements being planned for our downtown location. Stay tuned for more news!

Barbara Pace is dedicated to featuring handmade objects by local artists and craftspersons. Located at 1000 Thomasville Road, it has ever-changing offerings and you are sure to find a unique gift for yourself or that special occasion.

The Chain of Parks Arts Festival is always held every year in April in downtown Tallahassee, typically on the third weekend of the month. In 2018, it was held April 21-22. Featuring over 160 artists from around the country, it was a lovely event in the beautiful downtown Chain of Parks. Every year the Chain of Parks organization comes up with new enhancements. Check out the website. 2018 marked my tenth year participating.

The fall 2018 show will be held Oct. 12-13 at their lovely setting in the countryside east of Tallahassee. A one-of-a-kind treasure trove of delights awaits!

After a one year absence, I return 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 will be in Point State Park June 14-16 in booth 232. Hope to see you this year!
