Message from the LGG President by Teresa Pritchard Greetings! Spring is here which always evokes a sense of renewal, hope and invigoration! We here in the valley are especially reminded of this year after year through the abundance of our fertile landscape. The Larson Gallery vision is “Cultivating a Love of Art”. We, as a board, are passionate and emphatic about our vision. We feel we are the stewards of the appreciation of art, just as farmers tirelessly cultivate their crops. Our vision embraces the entire community—no matter how you define art. We are not alone and have cultivated relationships with others in the community who support our endeavors. This year we have formed partnerships with other visionary forces in town. Liz McGree of JEM Group, along with David Lynx, WD Frank and Bill Brennan created the lobby ambiance worthy of the new Hotel Maison. The Larson Gallery’s fun “Pop Up” shows have continued this year with our friends at Gilbert Cellars. Many of you may have attended the Signature Style event this spring at the 4th Street Theatre featuring Belú Salon, demonstrates our new freindship with Charlie Robin and the Capitol Theatre. With these partnerships we have expanded the definition of art. It’s not one thing—it’s everything. In 2017, we have a slate of exhibitions and events coming to Yakima with you in mind. All different and something for everyone. Thanks to our loyal membership base, you make this possible year after year and truly help nourish our vision! FABRIC! FASHION! FUN!
