If its October, Its Time for Arts and Crafts

October 17, 2008

Throughout the Inland Empire venues for arts and crafts show are becoming plentiful. With our spectacular Fall weather, out door art shows are great weekend events. One of the more established shows is that sponsored by the Redlands United Church of Christ. It is now in its 29th year and has grown from 5 artists to approximately 65. It was begun as a fund raiser for the many activity and outreach programs of the church.

Each year the committee selects a "Featured Artist" whose work is used in the promotional pieces for the show. This year's artist is Darlene Katz. She is a resident of Carlsbad. Her work in microbiology brought her to California, but her love of art changed her career to that of a successful artist. If you are interested in seeing examples of her work you can visit http://www.studiokatz.com/. Of course, to see the actual paintings you can come to the church during the weekend show.

There will be a variety of crafts and of wall art and garden art. The show has also attracted some quality jewelry artists. It is a great event for selecting unique gifts for the holidays.

The hours for the show are 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. Friday (today)

10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday

11a.m. -5 p.m. Sunday

Admission is free and there will be musical entertainment as well.
