Ag and Art Schedule

I enjoyed Saturday and Sunday’s Ag and Art event at Myersart and Farm in Hickory Grove. A thunderstorm did not deter the cause of art on Saturday; I painted under my canopy while waiting for the rain to stop. So many nice chats with visitors beforehand.

Sunday was rain-free and I met visitors from across the US, as well as local residents from Hickory Grove. I was pleased to discover a new patron of my art, and to arrange sales and a commission with her. I want to extend a special thanks to the event hosts, Jon and Jan Myers.

My final Ag and Art setup in 2021 will be Saturday, June 26th 10-4 at The Powell Farm, 4531 Cabal Road, Sharon, SC.
