First of all, I would like to express my appreciation to Shelly Cone and the Santa Maria Sun for doing a wonderful job of reporting on the art scene in Santa Maria. The article about the Art in the Garden event at the Santa Maria Inn (āSpotlight on Mom, spotlight on art,ā May 7) was a perfect example.
We, as the Town Center Gallery, want to continue to work with her and the Sun to let everyone in the area know that art is still alive in the area and that we are striving to open a new gallery in the Town Center West in June. Keep up the great job of reporting on the art scene!
