BrightStone Artists--SOLD!!



Barbra Chambers and Barbi Duell proudly display their artwork!

BrightStone adults had a great showing in the recent art show "An Artist's Window" held in Franklin. A number of ceramic pieces were entered, resulting in a 2nd place winner, Jon Hasty, and an honorable mention for Michael Spaulding. The art show featured adult artists with developmental disabilities. BrightStone art was quickly sold, much to the delight of the adult students, family members and staff!
