     Our first show  "Art and All That Jazz" was held in Dec. 2006 at the Glendale Gaslight Inn in Glendale, Az.  In March 2007, a number of us displayed our works at the West Valley Art Museum "An Affair with the Arts" in Surprise, Az. In April, a few us displayed our works at the Glendale Arts Council Show in the Sahuaro Ranch in Glendale.  On April 22, we hosted an "Open House" at the home of Margaret Clark-Price honoring retired Glendale Vice Mayor Tom Eggleston along wih an Art Exhibit/Sale benefiting Room for Joy.  What a wonderful and "first class" venue that turned out to be!  On May 13th, we had a wonderful exhibit at the new and exciting "Fire & Friends Z" Art Studio in the city of Peoria! Some of our artists had work exhibited for November/December at the Gaslight Inn in Old Town Glendale!   On Nov. 10 we hosted "Art Among Cultures" honoring the Piestewa Memorial Committee!!  What a fabuous venue and incredible entertainment!!  
ALMA KREIGER (Click name to send email)  -- Painting is my first love.  Taking a blank canvas and tubes of color and bringing a scene to life is a true expression of joy.  My choice of subjects varies – from western landscapes to wildlife – to scenes of the Scottish Highlands with an added occasional fantasy creation.  Each subject touches my heart in a special way and I try to convey that feeling in each painting.  Click here to see my page
