Artist Reception, April 8th

The Currahee Artists’ Guild is fortunate to host a reception for the international, well-known British artist, Josephine Wells on Tuesday, April 8 from 4-8 at The Studio. I urge everyone to attend And support her. She’ll have prints, limited and open and copies of her book, “The Fantasy World of Josephine Wall” at the event. Since we’re hosting the event, we could use some pastries, Cookies, etc., so if you can contribute let me or Deborah know. I’ve attached her press release, so you can learn about her and hand them out. We want Josephine to have a great reception and leave With a warm feeling for Toccoa.

Thanks, Gail
