In Memoriam: Ed Beier

"To all at NVAL,

My father Ed Beier died peacefully at sunset on Thursday, October 16, 2025. 'Pink clouds at night, sailor's delight.' He couldn't have picked a better image.

He loved working with and for the Art League. If you are able to, please attend his memorial: 2:00pm Saturday, December 27 at Pilgrim Congregational.

Thank you again for the nurturing and support you shared with my father over the years. My brother and I have directed donation requests to NVAL and to Pilgrim Congregational, two pillars of my dad's community.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mike Beier"

The airport has additional space opening up and we're looking for artists to show their work! For any artists interested in displaying their work at the Redding Airport, please contact Jim Milestone (530-806-6123). Be prepared to share examples of your work.
