Verde Valley Art Gallery Schedule - Fall 2009

Convergence- August 28th thru October 2nd 2009

Four artists from four uniquely different geographical locations in the United States, working in vastly diverse mediums bring their individual styles into one artistic voice at the Verde Art Gallery.
These full-time artists - David Woof, Sallie Cross, Cris Roney, and Michael Turner – have long respected and observed the evolution of each other’s work, and so celebrate this exhibition as a first-time coming together of their individual creative expressions.
