Conn, McConville and Terrezza work in mixed media; Dansie, Eaton, Hampton, Mashburn, Bradley and Glover are painters; Cripps makes puppets; Ford draws with charcoal; Buonaccorsi, Mitchell, Kossler and Pace are sculptors.

An additional 20 artists with studio space in the arts center will display their work in glass, ceramics, fiber art, painting, photography and jewelry.

Madison J. Cripps presents a puppet show for children on Saturday, July 9, 2011, at 3pm. Mechanic and several Flood artists conduct a lively panel discussion, “Who Sez It’s Art?,” on Tuesday, July 12, 2011, at 7pm. Both programs are free and open to the public.
