Jean’s Note:

Serving as the Membership Secretary for the Village Gallery of Arts has been a truly rewarding experience. I will miss meeting and connecting with our new members. During my time in this role, I had the privilege of welcoming over 30 individuals into our community. Getting to know each of them, listening to their personal journeys, and witnessing the excitement in their eyes as they spoke about their children, grandchildren, and artistic accomplishments has been a joy.

I recently had an unexpected opportunity. The New Member show had just been hung, and I found myself all alone in the Gallery.  Taking in the variety of beautiful, provocative, imaginative art I was reminded that regardless of our background or current situations, art is an expression of our humanity, and the Village Gallery of Arts connects us all.
