Halls, art room and cafe were filled with paintings, ceramics and leatherwork, observed and praised by an unusually large group of guests. Also catching the Viewers' eyes Were glass etchings and finger paintings. One treasure in oil was lost to the exhibit when it slipped behind an immovable cupboard, but who knows-years from now it may be recovered and claimed as a famous art piece.
