It saddens me to watch the Fresno Art Museum valiantly struggle to survive during these restive times. It is my suspicion that it will — through sheer pluck and determination, and a lot of help from the citizens of this Valley.

The current exhibition is exceptionally stunning — all works from the museum’s reputable permanent collection, presented with perceptive care and knowledge. What a joy to behold! We must sustain and celebrate this treasure in our community. Every year since 1988, the museum’s Council of 100 has honored a notable woman artist. This year, Joan Tanner is being honored. A reception and a luncheon will be held at the museum for her on Nov. 21.

Join the Fresno Art Museum and enjoy its particular pleasures!
