The Galena Vision 2020 Art Center Committee is sponsoring a pop-up gallery "The Art Lives On, Celebrating Galena's departed Artists". This exhibit showcases the work of 26 artists who lived in Galena at some time in the last 60 years, and are now deceased.  This exhibit is a stunning example of the strength and vigor of the arts community which has endured in Galena for decades.  It serves as a consciousness raising event as we work to nourish awareness of this valuable art resource which continues to grow and enhance our future. 

Carole and Jan are working with the Galena Vision 2020 planning committee to create an arts and cultural center in Galena, which would include a theatre and an art gallery.  If you have input in any way for this project, please contact us.

"REMEMBERING OLD GALENA"

   Carole is remounting "Remembering Old Galena", a musical about Galena's rich history. The show is available for conference and tour groups visiting the tri-state area.  See link for booking information.
