Art show benefits Auxiliary

SALISBURY — The art show and sale at Noble Horizons Saturday, April 5, enjoyed a solid turnout.

Organizer Jean Saliter said the “Birds, Bees and Apple Trees” show, combined with the “Come As You Are” party, is in its second year.

True to the name, the pieces on display were of birds, bees and apple trees.

Saliter said the artists are either local or connected locally, and most of the pieces were “priced to sell” and created specifically for the show, which was sponsored by the Noble Horizons Auxiliary.

Saliter said the Auxiliary provides services at the facility such as the library, salon and fitness center, and a lobster dinner.

The artwork was all donated and the proceeds plus the admission fee of $25 went to the Auxiliary.

Forty minutes into the show, Saliter had sold two pieces. Since people didn’t start showing up in earnest until about half an hour past the official starting time of 5 p.m., she found that encouraging.
