The Beerhorst Family - Art and Family Life


Sunday, April 17, 2011
2:00 pm
Free Event at the Library!

Rick and Brenda Beerhorst, well known Grand Rapids artists and ArtPrize winners, will talk about their art, music and family life. We will get a chance to view some of their works and observe demonstrations of woodblock printing and rug hooking. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to purchase some of their original artworks too! If the weather is nice, we are hoping that they will bring their "Art Wagon" along to the library! Don't miss this free family program sponsored by the Friends of the Library of East Grand Rapids.

Please visit studiobeerhorst.com to learn more about this talented family!
