"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree." - Emily Brontë
As the change of season is upon us, may we embrace the cooler days, colorful leaves, and clear blue skies. The beauty of nature and the happiness derived from witnessing the uncomplicated yet meaningful moments in life remind us to appreciate the subtle joys that each day brings.
The Fall Members' Exhibition showcases our members' art. There is no theme and works of any accepted genre and medium are welcome.
