Of course we'll have wine and lemonade and plenty of noshes, as usual, beginning at 3:00, then at 4:00 we'll have a discussion with each of the artists, moderated by our own Del-Bourree Bach. We'll also give you a bit of insight into the rest of the season here at the Courtyard. ec.lec.tic.1 features new and exciting paintings by Sarah Stifler Lucas, Domine Vescera Ragosta, Ralph Acosta, James Grabowski and Sunil Howlader and runs through July 30th.
