The Walter’s Falls Group of Artists is looking forward to welcoming visitors and patrons to our 2023 Show, an exhibition and sale of fine art and craft in the charming community of Walter’s Falls. This year will see a return to normal, pre-pandemic operations, including our opening night gala on August 25. Come browse the show and chat with the artists – we know the WFGA Show will intrigue, surprise, and move you.
IN MEMORIUM: The WFGA was saddened to lose one of its founding and stalwart members in 2022. Lynn Belden, leaded-glass artist extraordinaire, passed away in November of that year, and we will very much miss her talent, warmth, and down-to-earth wit and wisdom. As well, the WFGA extends its condolences and sympathy to founding member Jo Ann Sauks and her husband Toomas (currently President of the group and guest artist) on the loss of their beloved daughter Emilie Skye Sauks, who passed away July 11, 2023 after a courageous battle with cancer.
