Patricia B. Avery Regional Art Exhibit 2010

Mission:

Patricia B. Avery was president of the board of Trustees for the Heard Craig Center for the Arts and an exemplary woman. She personified the wisdom, visionary spirit and integrity of our founder, Kathryn Heard Craig.  As board president, Mrs. Avery, guided the Heard-Craig Center for the Arts into a new era of focus on the arts, art acquisition and fostering of young talent.  This exhibit, named in her memory, will provide a bridge between art of the past and present.
