It was a lovely evening for the Cedar City Arts Council Summer Social at the Red Acre Farm. Thanks to the presenters and participants. We enjoyed a variety of visual and musical arts.

Debbie Drake encouraged us to make art for tension relief.

Samples from Debbie Drake's notebook of Zentangles

Debbie Drake demonstrated the art of ‘UnTangle Designs'. She stressed that this helps release tension as you create simple repetitive shapes. This structured drawing technique is based on the popular Zentangle® method. No artistic talent is required. 

Tiffany Marchant displayed some of her visual art and talked about her artistic journey

Mini-grant recipient Michael Silva described his current visual art projects.

Mary Anne Andersen reminded us that the mini-grant applications are due Aug. 31
