The Sneak Preview

Yesterday, May 9th, was the Sneak Preview of Coyote Creek Studio Arts. Many of our artists were present and we a nice turn out of people seeing the work of our artists.

In this picture, Lexi Erickson, President of Coyote Creek Studio Arts, is standing next to the wood sculpture of one of our artists. The sculptor, John, can just be seen to the left of the red flower (he's wearing sunglasses). Fred Boyce, the mayor of Fairplay and one of the studio's board of directors, is visiting with one of our watercolor instructors.
