"Valley on the Hill"  Exhibit
Now that I can enjoy more of my free time I have decided to convert newspaper clips to digital format before they get destroyed by time passing.
It is also good to reread - I have not seen these in a long time - and for sure it will mean a lot to some of my dear friends that follow my blog.
I have always considered Mary Fitzgeral-long retired from the newspaper- an excellent writer and a very caring person.
The man that was asked for his autograph was Phil DiPaolo - his painting is behind my photo in the article.
This was such a fun time. We were the first to display artwork done by contemporary artists at Doric Hall at the State House in Boston. Up to the point, from my understanding, just prints and exhibits about the city were on display.
Others were to follow us and display there. Copycats! Just kidding! I had the chance again many years later to be there with the organization I founded the Arts Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley, Inc.
Both times that we were there with my organization I called the exhibits "Valley on the Hill" very clever! OK, I am bragging!
I will soon post picture and some very touching stories about this exhibith.
