Celebrated the opening of Idylwood Studios last night. It was amazing to have everyone there and enjoy the evening in community through art. @maureenminard.bsky.social @caseywaitart.bsky.social

Artists Casey Wait, Maureen Minard, Molly McCracken and Pamela Huffman stand together in the hallway gallery at Idylwood Studios on February 14, 2025 at the Petite Opening reception. On the walls in the background is colorful artwork.
