ELK COUNTY COUNCIL ON THE ARTS

 
 
I’d like to extend a big Welcome to all of the ArtBeat Readers.  My name is Kelly Carver.  A native of St. Marys, I relocated back to my Elk County roots last year.  In September, I joined the staff of ECCOTA.  As Gallery Coordinator, it will be my job to present you with monthly writings about the happenings in our art gallery.  I’m very pleased to have been offered this position and hope to keep you up to date on Elk County Council on the Arts.

November brings a very exciting month for ECCOTA.  We have a couple of very interesting events you won't want to miss!

The fun begins on Saturday, November 5th with a toll painting class taught by instructor Patty Smith.  The class will be held in the ECCOTA Gallery located at 237 Main Street, Ridgway from 10 am to 5pm.  Join us in creating your very own autumn scene on a piece of slate.  Hang it someplace you love to remember the beauty of our colorful, fall season as we start heading into our dreary winter months.  Space is still available to participate in class, register by calling 772-7051.

Excitement is in the air as we prepare for ECCOTA's annual fundraiser event.  The Monte Carlo Gala will be held on Saturday, November 12th at the Diamond View Restaurant in St. Marys.  The Monte Carlo theme will bring surprises for everyone.  A few secrets to let you in on - a blackjack table, roulette table, and very special 50/50 drawing are some of the events being planned.  Tickets are still available by contacting the gallery or you may purchase at the door the night of the event, doors open at 7 pm.  You won't want to miss out on this spectacular evening!

ECCOTA would like to welcome Sarah Cleary into the art gallery for a night of poetry.  Join us on Friday, November 16th for an evening of prose.  Bring a poem you wrote, or one by your favorite author to share. 

Thank you for reading and we hope to see you soon! Keep up to date on ECCOTA happening by visiting our website www.eccota.com.

For those of you who haven’t visited our gallery in Ridgway, stop by to visit and see the what the amazing artists in our area have to offer.  We are located at 237 Main Street, Ridgway, PA.  Current hours are Monday through Friday from 10 to 5, and Saturdays from 11 to 3.  We will be extending our hours closer to the holidays for all of your gift giving needs.
