We are delighted to announce that a substantial donation of stretched canvases has been received recently — a gift from Tara Materials, a national company that makes beautiful picture frames, stretched canvases in several price ranges, and other arts materials. Their local branch at Otay Mesa has given us over 300 canvases in a variety of sizes — all with minor defects (some undetectable to our untrained eyes), none of which prevent their use.
We are extremely grateful, first to Dan Herrscher, Purchasing Manager, who made the arrangements, and to the company manager and staff. It was a very thoughtful gift to our small organization and will enable us to move forward in ways that might not have happened — or not so quickly. Now we can approach schools with new projects that were previously unrealistic, and perhaps begin an ongoing adult arts program that will fill a gap in the Mountain Empire Community.
The frames are being stored at the Pine Valley Bible Conference Center, which has the adequate space needed. In exchange for that favor, they will have the opportunity to use some of the canvases for their own arts programs ahead. Norm Daniels, their resident artist (and part of the Administrative Staff), managed to contain his glee. Barely.
If you have creative ideas for creative arts, let us know! We’re here to serve the Mountain Empire community in whatever ways we can.
