Spring art Links
Written By: Patty Calderone | Issue: 2019/03 - March
March is here, and soon forsythia and daffodils will be popping out all over. Forsythia is the symbol of anticipation and excitement, and the daffodil denotes hope, joy, and friendship. Bright yellow to me perfectly symbolizes hope and anticipation and longing for more sunshine, especially after all the gray of winter. So, I have been inspired to reach out to our surrounding neighbors in a warm token of friendship to share some of their artistic activities coming this spring. Artists tend to be very gregarious folks. Many Art League members belong to several art groups and are participating in all three of these organizations’ events. Spring is a wonderful time to get out and check out something arty and new. Here are some of the top events we would like to mention. Remember to save
the dates.
