Opening Reception CANCELLED -  Resident Artist Exhibition  Out of the cocoon of winter – Spring erupts with a vitality that touches all our senses.  The visual delight of this season begs us to linger on its unfolding.  Bursts of vivid colors provide new life to our surroundings.  The strength of nature budding into fresh growth brings forth thoughts of hope and renewal.  Spring incites our spirits with vigor, joy & a bit of mischief.  The resident stormwater artists celebrate this season with Rites of Spring, their annual exhibition exploring what it means to be enlivened by the world we live in.  From painting, to drawing, from sculpture, to mixed media, their work inspires and reinforces the importance of daydreaming, wandering and fresh starts.
