MARIPOSA – The Mariposa County Arts Council announced the success of the 3rd Annual District 2 Art Show recently, featuring the work of artists and craftsmen/craftswomen living in Greeley Hill, Coulterville, Don Pedro, and the surrounding areas, at the home of Merlin and Mimi Jones in Greeley Hill.
Local artists and craftsmen and women participated in the event, which was attended by approximately 200 guests. Among the highlights from the show were demonstrations provided by participating artists. Jan DeShera wove handspun wool on her loom and a performance by the local band Gerry and the Atrics entertained guests and artists alike. Refreshments and drinks were provided by the Jones family and local community members.
