'Tis Now a Time to Refresh and Rejuvenate
The
gallery will be temporarily closed to exhibits for the rest of January; however, will remain open for scheduled activities.
In anticipation of a Revolutionary 2017 here at KAA, we need to Refresh & Repair, Rejuvenate & Revamp our gallery to accommodate the upcoming year's activities and exhibits.
Join us on Jan 28th at 9 AM at the Gallery and be a part of the "KAA Klean-Up Krew". The walls need patching and touching up; the cellar needs a cleaning; and there are oodles of things to organize.
So, plan to
join the fun on Sat., Jan. 28, 2017; meet new people, have some soup, from 9 am until it's done.
