Art Walk starts at the venue of your choice... and the venues now cover so much territory that only Ira Tozer can walk to all of them between 4 and 7 pm.

Artists of The Month at Manley for November are The Tuesday Painters. The group meets every Tuesday at Manley Art Center to paint in the media of their choice and enjoy the camaraderie of other artists. During Art Walk they painted a still life of a piece of cake on a stemmed serving platter - painters from left to right, Rob Decker, Kathy Huxley, and Eva Marie Klass.
Work by the Tuesday Painters that will hang in the Manley Gallery for the month of November.
