Artists Patti Runco, Joan Lawrence, Mickey Kunkle and Nadine Chicoine are all longtime members of the North End Gallery in Leonardtown, having all joined at the same time several years ago.
The North End Gallery enjoyed a huge 20th-Anniversary Celebration on the Leonardtown square last month. These four artists have had so much fun working together through the years, that they have now combined their talents in yet another show which will run through Oct. 29 at the gallery. Gallery hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. For more information visit www.northendgallery.org.
