Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, May 23rd, from 10 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., we will meet at Coquille Valley Art Center, 10144 Hwy 42, Coquille.

Directions: Leaving Coquille going toward Myrtle Point, after Rink Creek Road, the art center is on the right hand side just past Coquille Supply and the vacant convenience store. Look for the Art Center sign.

Bring your lunch and join us. Maybe it will be nice enough to paint outside! :)

Hope to see you there. My cell is 541-297-6118.
Ava
