Monday Morning Artists

The first monday of the month, several Yellow Springs and surrounding area artists meet to paint, critique, share and inspire eachother at the First Presbyterian Church in Y.S. from 9ish to noon.

We call ourselves the Monday Morning Artists. Come join us!

We presently have a show hanging in the gathering space there, Westminster Hall, of about 15 paintings in honor of the Y.S. Chamber Music 25th anniversary. You may view the show during regular office hours M-F 9-noon or sunday after the service, around 11:30-12:30ish. We were honored at the Recognition celebration and concert Nov. 9 by Mary White, one of the leaders of Y.S.C.M. for our visual contribution to their festivities.

Rita Caz in the News

Mark Crockett by Talitha Greene
acrylic on canvas

Xenia Daily Gazette has a nice article about Rita Caz by Ron Siemer. For those unfamiliar with Rita Caz, it is a jewelry store/gallery in Kings Yard owned by Mark Crockett and his wife Gail Zimmerman. If fine crafted original jewelry isn't your thing then check out their guitars, rocks, minerals or gemstones.
