————-
My dear friend, Joan Preble, had exhibits
in the Library where local artists would display their
works of art
Threre would be an opening with newspaper announcements,
and a reception exactly like for the professional artists.

Joan taught the students about what the
artists life at the pre-school ages may have
been like if she couldn’t find any informaton
about them….and she taped paper UNDER the tables
so the young artists could relate to what it would have
felt like for Michelangelo to lay on his back to paint t
he ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
