"The
ghost of Annie Palmer may well be the guiding spirit at
284 Main Street, Point Arena,
current home of Point Arena CITYART. A prim young lady
at the turn of the nineteenth century, housed fashionably,
yet modestly in this small Greek Revival, Annie ended
her teaching career at the Methodist School on the Point
Arena Rancheria by murdering her lover in "spectacular
fashion."

Part of the Point Arena CITYART Statement of Purpose says, "to enhance the cultural dynamic of our community…by providing an environment in which artists may exhibit their work…and to encourage community exhibitions." Idealistic words! But, that is really happening. Our community has responded with enthusiasm. The building housing CITYART on Main Street was gutted and renovated by volunteers with spirit. Each year's growth has demonstrated the strength of and the need for CITYART’s place in the community. For instance, in April, grade school children did a fascinating exhibition, "At the Source", a Garcia watershed event. This year CITYART awarded the second annual scholarships to two graduating seniors at Point Arena High School. YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED AND WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED! |
