This month's exhibition clearly depicts the grand wealth in talent our beloved community harbors.  It displays the support this island offers for creative expression cultivated through the advent of collective experience.  Something here gives me pause when I venture "off the rock"- a deep appreciation and a longing for the familiarity of this shire.  But it's not just a destination that makes this island our home, it's the people here, the characters, the artists, the farmers, the fisherman, the legends...

Through A Lens III gives us all the opportunity to experience  a different perspective for a moment and with it the gift of distraction it offers.  In times of major conflict and upheaval it seems all the more important that we lean on the steady pillars of creative arts just as they did in the Renaissance, and the Age of Enlightenment, emerging from the bleakness of the Middle-Ages. 

Our community has come together to present our gifts to you,  may the artwork shared bring joy to the hearts of many.
