February Event:
On Saturday, February 5th from 6-9 p.m. join Fresh Starts at Union Street Gallery for a very special evening of art, wine and live music featuring the artwork of Patricia Moore who has been in charge of all the artwork at Fresh Starts for the past 8 years.! We want to honor her by hosting an exclusive wine tasting which my husband Dale and I will be host and be pouring all the wines.
Our gift to you is to dine with us that day or evening and receive a complimentary pass to the gallery AND the wine tasting that evening. Even if you just have a bite to eat at Fresh Starts that day, I'll give you a free pass. Otherwise there is a nominal $5.00 donation for the wine tasting that will be donated to Pat Moore and Union Street Gallery.
We will also be selling glasses of wine if you like what you taste. Pat Moore is truly a remarkable woman and has been a true pioneer on the art scene in the South Suburbs for more than 30 years!

New art work by member Joyce Riley
I would like to take this moment and introduce myself. I am Barbara Heine, one of the members of the Village Artists. I have been asked to be a guest blogger for the group. Here I am in a photo with my daughter, Becky.
I would like to use my time to talk about some new work by one of our members.
Joyce Riley is a potter and her business name is Ceramic JAR. Joyce is what we like to call our "lead potter" because other Village Artists members look to her for guidance. Joyce mixing the glazes for the potters and we look to her for leadership as we fire the kiln. The potters and all the members appreciate her input.
Joyce has been trying some new techniques by fusing glass to the inside of her pottery. It makes for a lovely effect. She makes wonderful bowls, platters and small vessels for oil.
Her work is lovely and speaks for itself! You can contact Joyce by calling the Village Artists.
You will find the number under the About Us tab.
I will be showcasing other members in future blogs.
Sincerely,
Barb
