On July 27th, nine of us trekked to Omaha in a two- car caravan.  First stop:  Tom Stitzman’s “CONNECT GALLERY AND STUDIO”. Refreshments were waiting and we had a tour of the upstairs gallery showing local artists’ 2D and 3D work. Then we toured the basement studios where Tom does his metal sculpture and three others artists rent space for 3D sculptures and metal work.  Tom does metal sculptures, mobiles and table top “movable” pieces.  Second stop: JOSLIN’S—for lunch in the atrium and to view “Renoir to Chagall, Paris and the Allure of Color.”  We enjoyed a docent-guided tour and spent some time in the gift shop.  On the way home, one car stopped at Dick Blick’s for art supplies, and the other car arrived home at 3:30PM.  Everyone had a great art-filled day, and we’re looking forward to our next “outing”.
