doorstep.” ~Paul Strand

CHIHULY
EVENT
Dale Chihuly:
Tradition &
Transformation
open through July
31. This exhibit was
attended by about 12
of the CAA members after the General meeting in May.
They were all treated with a free hard cover book by the
docent featuring some of his works. The exhibit
includes glass as well as drawings the artist created
during a session with students on Gonzaga’s campus in
1995. Chihuly visited Gonzaga following the
installation of his signature “Red Chandelier,” a
permanent fixture that has occupied the interior apex of
the Jundt Art Museum since its opening, a gift of
Trustee Emeritus Duff and Dorothy Kennedy, and
Trustee Emeritus Jim and Joann Jundt. The piece is a
destination attraction for people throughout the
Northwest and beyond. The members also went to
lunch at Anthony's at the Falls. Food was delicious and
the falls were beautiful.
APRIL ARTISTS SHOWCASE
The annual showcase was superbly planned by the
Chairman, Kathleen Peterson and her assistant, Carol
McCarty. Member artists displayed their art, there were
demonstrations, raffles for both wonderful paintings by
Sharon Mille and Janet Launhardt and a shopping
certificate for $200 to be used to buy art at the show or
one of the other events during the year, refreshments
and a lovely atmosphere of a French presentation. The
ambiance was lovely and the show was enjoyed by those
attending.
