Joan Lehman Memorial Art Show
Walk Through

This is a walk through of the show on the morning of August 6th prior to opening.

We want to thank all of those that came to Joan's art show! It was a pleasure to see everyone and hear the wonderful stories. So many wonderful conversations and comments about Joan's life in art.

In seven hours Joan's art was able to raise $6,450.60 for the Friends of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Artist in Residence Program. Since the sixth we have continued to receive generous donations!
