March 2006

S pring is here and our tourist season has already begun. Thank you for continuing to wow our visitors with the quality and variety of our home grown talent. There is always room for more and the more we have the more we can sell.

 

If you are planning on going away this summer bring your work in to the Gallery and we will store it securely for you and bring it out as needed.

Whistle Stop Website

Our website is starting to take shape and will be updated as time allows. Please send in your autobiography when you can and it will be added to the website. If you have your own website be sure to include the address and it will be linked to the site. 

 

 

The Whistle Stop Winter Challenge project is proceeding apace. To date we have distributed 25 2’x2’ squares and some of you are very close to completing your projects already! Remember, we would like to have your completed work in by May 15^th in order to display them before placing them along our art walk for our grand unveiling on Canada Day, July 1, 2006.
