Meeting the Community

Last evening Julia, our Director of Education, invited me to attend the Cornerstone Alliance "After Hours," held this time at the Whitcomb, a hotel built in the 1920s that is now home to hundreds of elderly folks. The place still has its original crystal chandeliers and woodwork--just gorgeous! We got a tour, given by one of the owners, David Krock. He was very nice, and we talked briefly about how he is very interested in what we can do to bring visual arts to the residents there. He said he has been approached personally by some budding artists for information. Proof that it is never too late to learn about art.

Tonight, Friday, is the regular Benton Harbor Art Hop, and I may check it out. There is a really wonderful art area in Benton Harbor that is very active, and I look forward to meeting them!
