Scenes from this years Masterpiece Night

At our January Members meeting, besides voting in three new Board members, (John Barley, Jim Davis, and Tracy Troutman), Mary Lott presented her annual Presidents Report to membership. This business was followed with a favorite HAAA event, Masterpiece Night. Members brought a personal Masterpiece or two of their favorite work to share. Below is a slide gallery of most the art shown. It was fun to see and hear the stories behind each of these artists’ Masterpieces. Looking forward to see what new Masterpieces are created in 2025!
