Del Ray Artisans to cease operation

 
Del Ray Artisans

..................since 1992

                                                                                                                                               

Board of Director positions usually involve 4-6 hours per month. To date help largely has come from a very small group of tireless souls.

 

This core group has been forced to do triple and quadruple duty serving the needs of keeping the Del Ray Artisans running. Its culture of being a fun place for artists, members and the community-at-large to meet and enjoy the wide range of exciting arts, fun-themed gallery events and parties, now must come to an end due to lack of people who don’t contribute even a few hours to guarantee success.

 

Do YOU want the above to come true? If not, then please, please offer to share a few hours of your time to come to the aid of YOUR arts organization.

 

Together, we’ll make sure the above does not happen and we’ll continue to bring terrific events to everyone.  To sign up to volunteer or to get information about Board positions, contact Vivienne Lukacs at: 703.979.8996 or viv703@msn.com

Fun ‘n Games Redux show a hit

 

What does one do when there is a smash hit show? Why one simply “Reduxes” it two years later. 

 

One dark and stormy night approximately 150 fans turned out to celebrate the 2nd installment of Fun ‘n Games.

 

There was face-painting, limbo dancing and tarot readings as well as fun-related art to purchase and, under a palm tree, grab bags galore. Punching out Bozo in the Vent Tent was only slightly dampened by the weather. All this and food, drink and music to restore the “humours” of those who attended.
