Weekend at the Galleries spanned Saturday, Sunday and today, Columbus Day {Editor's Note; Yes, I know the name has changed, but since my grandfather was born on Columbus Day and named Christopher Columbus as a result, I will continue to call it that.]
Galleries were open to the masked public all three days with their receptions mostly being held on Saturday evening. For those who attended the Maker's Market on Saturday for the Print Fiesta, Weekend at the Galleries had a silent auction of artist-created ravens and Gila monsters.
