Joan McConnell Award
Joan McConnell was a treasured part of the Gallery's past. In memory of Joan, we have dedicated this show to her. Many thanks to her husband Bud, who continues to be part of our group, being the "punch man" at our openings, and sponsoring the $200 grand prize at this year's Gardenscapes exhibit.
