"Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness.  It

trains the mind through they eye, and the eye through the mind.  As the sun colors

flowers, so does art color life"  John Lubbock, Sr.

May 1-3 is the 16th Annual "Art Attack"  in Harbor Country.  Journey to Southwestern

Michigan lakeside resort for a week-end featuring gallery receptions, artists workshops,

demonstrations, exhibitions, theater, music, and food.  All participating establishments

will have an "Art Attack" logo.  It will be an entertaining eclectic week-end, an interactive

celebration of "All that is Art"

Some Highlights of the week-end:

     Custom Imports, New Buffalo MI owner Dee Dee distributed cameras to her

Balinese/Sumatran friends on a trip to Indonesia.  They were asked to take pictures

of whatever they liked to share of their village.  Their photos share their homes,

work, and play bringing their world to us.

     Elizabeth Nuti Studio of Art Design of Art Design features oil paintings with

chicken and eggs.  "Sunny Side Up"  is like life there is always a bright side

to every story.

     Studio B in Three Oaks, MI theme is "Spring for Green"  The artwork

incorporates recycled elements, utilizes sustainable materials, or is

about nature. (paintings, ceramics, sculptures.)

  It will be a wonderful week-end. Hope to see you there!
