Floral Fusion – Art & Nature” fun continues at the Arts & Cultural Center during the month of June. “Fun with Found Florals” On June 14 was truly a joyous occasion. Anticipation was high as a group of eager students gathered to learn from the best as designers Linda Glass and Annie Brady shared their expertise on creating lovely floral designs. Everyone brought whatever they could find in their gardens, backyards, fields, roadside, and neighbors’ yards to share in the floral funfest. Wild flowers, weeds, grasses, seed pods, daisies, hydrangeas, yarrow, ivy, you name it, were put together to form beautiful bouquets. All participants went home with their prize creations. The morning was so enjoyable with good company, delicious refreshments, and time out from busy schedules to just have some creative fun together.

June 18th’s “The Wedding, the White, and the Wardrobe” luncheon presentation by Cathy Taylor was delightful. Cathy’s well-researched “wedding fashions and customs of the past” was fun, informative and nostalgic. Cathy has an extensive collection of exquisite antique gowns and accessories, books and pictures, on the topic, which she has gathered over the years from estate auctions, sales, antique stores, etc. A delicious meal, prepared by SCAC board members and friends, was enjoyed by all.

More fun is yet to come! A reception is planned for June 27th, 7 to 9 pm. Floral design, pottery and fine art will be the order of the evening as the floral interpretations of the paintings will be put into place, using original pottery vessels by local and regional artists.

On June 29th from 1 to 5 pm some of the artists and florists will be on hand to talk with gallery visitors.

Also don’t forget to buy raffle tickets for Diana Link Forn’s original watercolor painting which will be raffled that evening. The painting can be viewed through June 20th at Central Bank, corner of Main and Broadway.
