This article was submitted by Westminster Christian Academy. Earlier this year, Lisa Bachman Jones (’02) reached out to Westminster about contributing to the school’s vision in a nontraditional way—through a series of abstract paintings based on Westminster’s mission, vision and core values.

The series consists of ten paintings, one of which Lisa plans to donate as a gift to the school.

A new arts council is forming in the city of Manchester. Resident Bill Vivrett, who came up with the initiative, says there is a chance for Manchester to be an art-driven community.
Manchester Resident Bill Vivrett said he has had a long-time dream of making Manchester a center for the arts. Vivrett, a 75-year-old retired art teacher from Parkway North High School, is getting closer to that dream.

Artists prefer one Town and Country garden over another in a local painting contest.
A local painting contest recently showed me how two gardens tended to by two different Town and Country garden clubs could be so different. One of those gardens was chosen time and again by local artists looking for that perfect picture to paint. When my wife and I moved back to Missouri after spending 16 years in the Washington DC area, my wife was thinking of joining a garden club near our home in Town and Country. She had been the co-president for several years of a large and very active club in Maryland. She discovered two clubs close by: the Town and Country Garden Club, which looked after things at Drace Park off Clayton Road facing Interstate 270; and the Mason Ridge Garden Club, started by a woman from Creve Coeur, which …
