Gardens, gardens, we need gardens...

We are beginning to put together our 2nd annual Art in the Garden Tour in Exeter, scheduled for Saturday June 26, and are looking for people in Exeter who would be willing to open up their gardens for us. During this tour, an area artist who does out-door artwork (sculptors, wood workers, potters) will display their work in your garden. Visitors will follow a tour we lay out, from garden to garden, to see the landscaping and artwork. Last year's tour was great fun and a huge success. This is a fundraiser for ECCA to help support our art education program, and provide class scholarships to area children. If you have a garden you are willing to share to support this great cause, please let us know and we'll provide you with all the details. You can reach ECCA by phone at 778-8441 or email at ecca@rcn.com

2009 Art in the Garden Tour

Our first annual Art in the Garden Tour was a great success and huge fun. The tour featured nine of Exeter's most beautiful gardens and a half dozen area sculptors, ceramic artists, and woodworkers. ECCA wants to thank the sponsors and supporters of this event - Churchill's Gardent Center, Accent Magazine, Kathy Pottle & Squamscott Press. We would also like to thank the many volunteers who helped the tour to run smoothly, greeted visiters at each garden, and kept everyone's energies up with their enthusiasm.

We are already planning for next year's tour!
