Thanks to you, our Fall Show was a great success!

 

What a great event - and once again, it was successful only because of the many club volunteers: The Committee, the participating artists and other members who came to help. Our 2025 Fall Art Show Sponsors made the show possible with their contributions, and we thank the 800 or more residents who came to admire and purchase the extraordinary art made by our members. We also thank the judges who awarded artists in each category. See the winners here.

We also thank the many residents who purchased raffle tickets for the seven baskets raffled after the show. See who won which basket 2025 Raffle Basket winners

Dan Mitchell, Featured Artist of the Month

I graduated with a degree in architecture from the University of and a master’s degree in architecture from Washington University in St. Louis. Peggy and I married in 1974 and raised two boys (now 44 and 42 years old).  After graduating from Washington University, I joined a local architectural firm. I became a shareholder in the company, which eventually changed its name to Mackey Mitchell Architects, a national firm with many university clients.

While I took freehand sketching and drawing classes during my education, once my career began, I focused my energies on client relationships and contributing to the advancement of the practice. After a 40+ year career with the firm, I semi-retired in 2014 and fully retired in 2018.

As a child, I was fascinated with Lincoln Logs and would spend hours constructing miniature structures. Only after retirement, when my wife Peggy and I purchased a 40-acre lot in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado, was I able to merge my childhood passion and my profession, designing a log home. Working with a log home crafter in Colorado was a great experience, and Peggy and I would travel back and forth between St. Louis and Colorado to enjoy the property and home with family and friends. We moved full time to Colorado when I semi-retired in 2014. read more
