As you all can imagine, we're ready to put 2010 to bed, and we're excited to be welcoming in 2011. Last night I had the great pleasure to visit a bit with Cameron Malloy. I hadn't seen or spoken to her since we closed the gallery. and the timing of our meeting was nothing less than serendipitous. While Cameron and I both mourned Hummingbird Lane in 2010, we both have high hopes for the future in 2011.
It is with great sadness
that I write to tell you that Hummingbird Lane is closing its doors after
serving the arts for 20 years. Todd and I have loved every minute
of being a part of the Dahlonega community, and we both appreciate you, our
patrons, artists and community friends so much. While we thoroughly enjoyed our
experiences, and were so proud of the work we did, the economy has forced us to
make this painful decision.
It's that time again! Time for Summer Art Camp at Hummingbird Lane Art Gallery. Spaces are filling up, so call soon to reserve your child's space in camp. We're offering two weeks this year: June 14-18 and July 12-16. The curriculum for camp this year includes pottery, painting, photography, and kite making. We'll have a show each Friday at noon for families to enjoy the works of our campers. Each session is from 9-1 every day. Children should bring a bag lunch, and drinks and snacks will be provided. Price is $135 for the week, per child.
The 2010 Mountain Flower Art Festival is scheduled for Saturday & Sunday, May 15 & 16, 2010 from 10am - 5pm, and is inviting artists to submit applications for consideration to be included in the Mountain Flower Art Festival, May 15 & 16, 2010.
When the view is your paycheck.... This morning I had the distinct pleasure of watching the wind. It was amazing. There is a field by our house with trees surrounding it, and the trees follow right into our back yard. I was sitting on our porch, and while the birds fed from their feeder, I sat in silence.
Fall is finally here! It's been an amazing year, and so much has changed. The most common comment we're hearing these days is "Wow, you've moved a few things!" and we sure have! We've added artists' studios, classes, workshops, and have so much more planned, starting this weekend!
