The Making of a Quaker Art Gallery - 3By First Day morning, the walls were covered and made presentable, the junk was moved out and the floor cleaned, the art works went up, and -- miracle of miracles -- the air conditioning came on just a few hours before our opening! We had a Quaker Art Gallery! We named the space the Lemonade Art Gallery -- they gave us lemons, and we made it something sweet! And what a fine Gallery it was, if we do (humbly) say so ourselves. Here are some glimpses of what the Gallery looked like when it was done, along with some of the artworks it displayed. (We wish the lighting had been better; but that we couldn't fix.)
