Art in the Gardens!

The Friends of Cooley Gardens is excited to announce a unique one-day art exhibition in Cooley Gardens this summer

Save the date – Saturday, July 11, 2009

10am – 4pm

This event is free and open to the public. You won’t want to miss it! We will be featuring the work of two gifted artists who will both be speaking at the event:

Craig Mitchell Smith

 

Glass sculpture artist Craig Mitchell Smith’s fantastic fused-glass garden sculptures in organic shapes have been showcased on HGTV. Fortunately for us, he has created beautiful works specifically for Cooley Gardens !  In addition to being an artist, Craig is also a terrific gardener, whose home garden has been featured twice on the Greater Lansing Housing Coalition Garden Tour. Check out his work at www.CraigMitchellSmith.com

Sandra Davison

Painter Sandra Davison creates intimate pastel landscapes that respond to the energy of nature and light. Sandra works outdoors – en plein air -- often on site, sometimes spending months at a single location. Her interpretations of Cooley Gardens and other scenic Lansing views have been enthusiastically received. Her website is www.pastelfish.com.

In addition to our featured artists, we will even have a few plants for sale.

We hope to see you on July 11, 2009!
