ART GALLERY The artists' reception, held on the opening evening of the "Summer Show" presented by the West Vancouver Sketch Club, was well attended by forty artists and their friends and relations. As Elsa O'Connor tells us "Lots of food, lots of noise.... like old times. " On this occasion, Elsa was ably supported by Wanda Osborne and Amelia Alexsich. In August, our Gallery will, for the first time, play an active role in West Vancouver's Harmony Arts Festival. From Friday, August 6 through Saturday, August 14, there will be events and an exhibit in the Peters Meeting Room.
