Other art work shown will include bead weaving, fiber art, small sculptures, metal and wood pieces, painted gourds, jewelry, quilting, photography, painting on tile and glass and several types of artist note cards.

Several of the artists showing work in the spring show were well represented in this year’s Fountain Hills juried art show held in January. The Verdes artists who won awards were; Lori Coue, first place watercolor, Margie Barritt, second place water color, Marie Celona, first place digital photography and Carol Porritt, second place oils.

There will be wine and cheese for those who attend the spring show. This is a perfect event for guests who are in town for Spring Break. They might find a little something to take home from beautiful Arizona.

The Verdes Art League Fine Art Show and Sale is open to the public and admission is free. The Rio Verde Community Center is located eight miles north of Fountain Hills on Four Peaks Avenue, one block west of Forest Avenue, between McDowell Mountain Road and Dynamite (Rio Verde Drive). From North Scottsdale take Dynamite to McDowell Mountain Rd and turn right onto Rio Verde Dr. and continue south on Rio Verde Dr to the Rio Verde Community Center.
