Washington Art Association will be participating in Holiday in the Depot, an
annual celebration sponsored by the Washington Business Association in honor
of the season on Friday December 12 from 6 to 8 pm.

For the festivities: a booksigning of WAA¹s recently released Art & Food, a collection of art & recipes from nearly 100 Washington Art Association members. Cookbook author Susan
Purdy, former fashion designer Linda Allard, and ceramist Elizabeth
MacDonald, will be on hand for the evening to sign.

And, for Friday night only, we are inviting all children, 12 and under, to
pick a balloon.  Inside each balloon will be a hidden tag with a surprise $
value attached, which they can then use to purchase a gift from a select
group of items.

The gallery is located at 4 Bryan Plaza will be open for the season from
Tuesday through Saturday loam to 5 pm and Sunday from noon to 4pm.

All proceeds from the sale support the Washington Art Association.  For information or
