Music, Artwork and Wine

Nice Sized Crowd!

Prowers County residents enjoyed the arts appreciation evening sponsored by the Southeast Colorado Arts Council last Thursday, April 7, in Lamar. The membership drive combined artwork and sculptures with music from Take Five, as well as complimentary wine and cheese at the Shore Arts Center, downtown Lamar.

Council president Rose-Anne Yates and council members greeted each visitor at the door and directed them to the walls filled with paintings, photos and works in water-color, pencil and oil. The display was open to the public and highlighted the first evening of a two-day visit in Lamar from representatives of Downtown Colorado Incorporated.

The council is seeking new members, as well as those who have skills they can share, such as teaching art classes, computer expertise, or just want to help the council’s activities in general.
