Reflections Gallery Opening

Reflections is an outgrowth of the initiative sponsoring the Creative Conscience Workshop last fall. This will be a forum for displaying the works of artists and will be a site for studio space and instructional space.

Janis helped Stefan and Indi in arranging this first exhibit. Chuck also had a small hand in getting things ready.

The grand opening was attended by between 50 and 100 people. This particular exhibit, focused on female infanticide, will run 3 more days.

Miadori, visiting from Japan, one of the instrumental supporters of the gallery project.

Janis will be involved initially in helping to plan more exhibits and is actively exploring offering some art classes as a part of her revised directions in the use of art in India.


Perhaps Ashish, Stefan's son, will be one of the next generation of artists impacted by Janis' classes.
