Great news about Sanctuary Arts Connects!

Con Tutti! gifted $500, in honor of our greatly missed friend Tom Ingle, who sang tenor with them, for our scholarship non profit. Con Tutti! is a wonderful chorus on the seacoast, whose many members sing and celebrate a range of seasonal and multicultural music from many traditions. Joanne Connolly, the founder and director of Con Tutti!, and Joe Salsbury brought over the check on a beautiful sunny day. Lauren Dow, who administers Sanctuary Arts Connects, and I gratefully accepted the check in our formal garden.

Director’s Notes

I am pleased to announce I share an opening, with watercolorist Kimberly Meuse, at the Barn Gallery in Ogunquit on August 13 from 4 – 7:30. I’ll be showing my figurative bronze sculpture and egg tempera and oil paintings, as well as a few drawings. Kimberly and I will have a gallery talk August 18 at 6 pm. The show is open from August 3 – September 4. I do hope you can come and see the variety of my work and the new directions I am exploring.

I’ve also recently designed and executed a new website, with the help of Green Foundry proprietor, Lauren Dow. christophergowellfine

arts.com showcases my sculpture, egg tempera and oil painting, drawing and slate memorial carving. I’ve been on a long artistic journey, helped significantly along the way by instructors here at Sanctuary Arts. I am grateful to them all.
