The Salem Art Group: Dayna, Kathy, Tory, Woody standing in for Celia, Katy, Nancy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m a member of the Salem Art Group<\/em>, a closed, close-knit group of six women. We get together once a month, varying our activities. Some months we meet for coffee and to share what we’ve been up to, other months we take field trips. Regularly we meet for art play dates. And once a year we go on a multi-day art retreat in the woods. Earlier this year we decided it would be fun to do an art show together and last night we hosted our opening reception at The Art Department<\/em><\/a>, a downtown Salem fine art store. Our show, Group Dynamics<\/em>, will be up through the end of November.<\/p>\n
