28 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | March 2017 | Art Group The Gallery Wall and display case has been going strong, displaying only our residents art works for four years now. The Gallery is such a success that it is booked full every month until January 2018. We are trying something new next year. We will have a themed show for January/February 2018. That theme will be animals. Any resident who has created an original piece of art that has an animal on, in or represents an animal can display their work. More details to come. Thank you to all of our very talented artists and committed volunteers for turning a hallway into an art gallery. This month is The Student Art Show, that has works from our residents that have taken a class here in the Art Room at Four Seasons. Some of the works are from those who have just begun taking a class to those who commit themselves to talking a class every week. The Gallery showcases how much talent we have here in the community. Some of those showing in the March/April show are Sherry Hutson, Carl Kreun, Esther Feigenbaum, Rosemary Garrison, Paul Barr, Nancy Hawkins, Margo Dennis, Karen Johnson, Mary Davila, Dennis Bovee and Stella Torres. Weekly art classes, once a month classes and special one time art classes are offered for you to learn, create and then display your art. The Fine Art Show: Sat., March 11, 11 am - 3 pm, in the Ballroom. There will be drawings for gifts and refreshments will be served. There is still time to sign up to place your original fine art to sell in the show. Tables are $10 each.
