Announcing…

Mary Louise is one of 7 women featured in the new exhibit “Women with Vision” at Franklin Park Arts Center in Purcellville, Virginia. The exhibit explores the creativity of seven female Loudoun artists and their collective impact on our community.

Women with Vision is an exhibit highlighting three generations of women within our community whose creative talent, in the opinion of the Arts Center, continues to shape the arts in Loudoun; the exhibit locally supports the Minds Wide Open statewide celebration of women in the arts.

The exhibit opens May 28th and runs through June 14th, 2010. Admission is free.
