BAYarts 60th Birthday
Happy Birthday BAYarts
BAYarts’ 60th birthday celebration is in full swing. Thanks to several surprise birthday gifts we have much to celebrate! Beginning with a generous gift from our dear friend Alice McGinty, painter, teacher and patron of BAYarts for over 35 years. It is fitting that her gift will go towards updates and improvements in our Painting Studio such as better lighting, new equipment and quality art supplies.
Gini Cascarilla, a BAYarts friend and advisor, surprised and thrilled our drawing students with her gift of a dozen artist “donkeys,” something we’ve had on our wish list for a long time. Gini is also responsible for starting a fund for a much needed facelift of our gallery, the heart and soul of BAYarts.
Bay High School student and Scout Liz Meyer raised hundreds of dollars to assist in the remodeling of our Pre-School Classroom (stop in and see it! we love it!)
A special thanks to the Dillemuth Family of Rocky River for the generous donation of hundreds of art books in memory of Eric G. Dillemuth. Thank you to Rich Bartsche for always keeping us in bloom, and a Happy 60th birthday to you too, Cahoon Nursery!
And to all our generous supporters for helping keep this beautiful old building well-tuned. Of course our most enduring gift is our devoted volunteers who keep things humming and share our philosophy that BAYarts is the place to escape, to experiment, to learn and most importantly to have fun. We’ve made hundreds of new friends over the past few years; we share this celebration with all of you.
