Summertime has brought us a number of social events. A few weeks ago there was a fundraising dinner for Confluence Gallery & Art Center, held at Pipestone Canyon Ranch (over the hills east of Twisp). With about 150 people in attendance, it was a lively and festive evening in a beautiful setting, with good food, good conversation, and both silent and live art auctions.
Some people may have gone home with something they didn’t absolutely need
but obviously folks were there to support Confluence on its 25th anniversary, and in fact I heard they raised over $25,000!
A week later we attended an outdoor dinner party, down by the Twisp River, that had grown from a guest list of 16 to over 40! Unfortunately my pictures came out too blurry (not because of imbibing, but because of low light levels….honest!). Hosted by Canadians, attended by Canadians and even a couple from England, and of course the local contingent.
This past week my family has been here for all 5 concerts of the Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival (July 25 – August 3). My Dad drove over in his RV and is camped in the front yard. Brother and sister-in-law are here as well and we have weathered 100 degree weather, turning to cool and thundershowers this week.
Tomorrow a new show opens at Confluence Gallery, and Rick has several pieces in it – me, a couple of new rugs. The title of the show is Inside Out (“An exploration and celebration of designed interior and exterior space, and the objects and forms we use to define them..”) He helped with the setup this week and took a few pictures:
