A new banner and the work of both our adult members and our younger artists graced the MECAC booth. The photography of Judith Deem Dupree, the stained glass of Keith Barrett, the mosaic work of Evan Mora, the painted crafts and mosaic votives by Myrna Mora, plus wonderfully whimsical (and extremely practical) canvas bags were all for sale at the booth.
Many Pine Valley residents stopped by the booth to chat and to admire the canvas bags that have been the collective effort of Judith Dupree, Myrna Mora, and Dianne Holly as well as artwork of various kinds for sale. The most important reason for MECAC's presence was not fundraising, no matter how much money enables the council to support art programs both in the local schools and in the community. No, the reason for the booth was to enable MECAC Board Members to alert the Pine Valley and Mountain Empire community regarding upcoming programs and events, especially the FREE drama classes for our young actors.
Elizabeth B. organized and sold the donation bake sale goods, proceeds of which will help the new Pine Valley Players theatre group to purchase props, costumes, and take care of the costs of their upcoming winter play. The bake sale alone raised over $100 for the Pine Valley Players' future productions. Thanks to all who provided the delectable goodies to sell (and were they EVER scrumptious!), and thanks also to all who donated so generously to (and obviously enjoyed) the donation bake sale. All of you helped to make it a rousing success!
So keep your eyes "peeled" around town for MECAC fliers in front of the post office, at the library, in Pine Valley Java and Major's, and around the Mountain Empire area as well as in the Valley Views and here on the website. Some exciting ideas are coming to fruition in our local arts council, and I assure you, you won't want to miss a thing!
