On June 21 at the closing reception of Terroir: A Sense of Place, Jim Boyce and Kris Otis (Cheese Factory owners and Art at the Cheese Factory sponsors) presented a bouquet of flowers and kudos to Patricia Watts for her outstanding role as curator. Everyone present celebrated the successful 3-month run.The enthusiastic response to this exhibition of 28 bay area artists was a strong confirmation of the ACF vision. Three thousand visitors to the gallery expressed their interest and made significant donations to further our goal of 3 - three-month exhibitions per year. An additional 10,000 visitors enjoyed the outdoor sculptures and 4 participatory events. We even had an artist in residence for one week. Congratulations to all the artists who showed their work in this successful exhibition.
