Last Month's Nac Wednesday:
Doris
Rowe reports that the art-in-the-dark program was a great success! All presenters

digital work. Doris Rowe presented her new digital work, "I Saw
the Figure Four in Gold", a social protest statement. Celeste Mauro
delighted the audience with a slide show collection of masterful
watercolors with an architectural thrust. Janet Simpson

ft canvas that can be viewed, with work from each of these artists, at
the Do-Art Exhibit.
