Spring Sale and Art Show

The Art Mad Artists are proud to present their work at the Stittsville Branch of the Ottawa Public Library for the month of April 2018. Please come to the library during regular hours and enjoy the variety of work on display and for sale.

With our Spring show, we also mark the passing of our dear friend and core member, Hilary Dick. She was a wonderful woman with a superb sense of humour and always a positive thing to say to everyone. Her work is displayed in the library's glass case and a memorial photo and note have been shared as well. A celebration of her life is planned for May at her church in Stittsville. Date and time TBD.

We all miss Hilary's lively smile, stories, warmth and generous spirit.
