Sarah Bolduc, artist and President of Lake Country Artisans Guild, bubbled with excitement as she spoke of this year’s Gala. “The 2020 Gala overflows with new high quality artistry. The COVID stay at home practices have segued a higher level of exploration and development of fine skills, colorations, and design by our artisans. The wood turnings have inlays of multiple woods, new shapes and forms. The decorator gourds and wire sculpture excite the viewer with charm, whimsy and detail. The two dimension wall art offers multiple mediums including, watercolor, gauche, ink, fiber, oils, acrylics, beads and metal. Both representational paintings as well as abstracts are featured. We are excited this year to have knit and fabric pieces available also. I am extremely proud of the Gala. Our award winning artists put forth a diverse, fun, high quality exhibition. There is something for everyone."
