Lacy McClary "Outside the Lines" Opening Art Reception
Please join us Monday, Feb 24th, 5 - 7 pm, for complimentary bubbly and appetizers while you browse the unique island-inspired artwork of Lacy McClary. Filled with inspiration from her tropical surroundings, Lacy found herself splashing her inspirations onto canvas so rapidly she couldn't keep up. From birds to fish to tree frogs, sailboats, sunrises, sunsets, and various sea life, Lacy is inspired by it all. Opening night at The Community House will surround you with color, beauty, and vibrance, as well as the chance to meet Lacy and learn her creative processes. A cash bar will be available. We hope you can join us, tickets are free but RSVP is requested through Eventbrite.
