 En Plein Air

Start your day Friday, July 6, and Saturday, July 7, by stopping by the St. James Marina to see our artisans at work "en plein air". From 9 a.m.-noon each day, you have the opportunity to observe and interact with artists creating their art.  

This popular Artisan's event has a Kid's Korner with face painting and hands on activities for the younger folks. New this year is "Find your Inner Artist," a place for adults to try their hand at creating their own art. Our participating artists should provide plenty of inspiration. 
 

Painters will be working in various mediums, as well as transdigital art. See a work in pastels as it is created. Watch a potter at the wheel, a sculptor at work and check out pyrographic engraving, wreath-making , and crafting of jewelry pieces and tile inlays in trays and tables. Mark your calendar so you don't miss this special part of the Fourth of July holiday week.  
Save The Date

Save The Date

First, a thank to the St. James Community for its support of the Rally for the Cure. For the past 13 years the tournament has been held in July. We've made a change, setting the 2012 date for the event during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year the Rally for the Cure will be held Tuesday, October 16.
                        
Let's also Rock for the Cure. Mike's Garage Band will be playing for your listening and dancing pleasure on the evening of Saturday, October 13, to benefit this breast cancer fundraising effort.


The planning committee will soon begin its work. Anyone who would like to support this project by giving time, goods, or services is asked to contact Carol Kidd at 253-3532 or carolskis@earthlink.net.
Watch for more details coming soon.
