And Last but not Least- Our Tribute to Bob Born - The inventor or PEEPS

Thank You Bob Born 
For the Joy you have Given to the World
And Your Wonderful Friendship to Us
Although you were not here with us in the gallery this year, your picture was.  We treasure you.  

From the First Year we Met Bob and Patricia



And All the rest

And as for all the rest:
They were mostly the works of artists in the gallery, added when we were putting up the show....our way of having fun
And we wound up getting (as we well deserved) the fewest votes

The works of our very own, VANDY.  PEEPle stopped to read every record and every pun. The Tome was giggled after.  What will Vandy come up with next????  Look for her Flamingos, while they last.  (I slipped an old "Peeping Tome" in as well, to show that Vandy has not skipped a beat over the years)

Teacher: Britt Feingold
Britt went to town this year with her students and came in with many, many wonderful exhibits.
This is what the PEEPs show is really about- giving both children and adult free reign to imagine, imagine, imagine and then create, create, create.  Kudo to Britt for giving so many children this chance.


Hatching a Plan and OFF to the Races both by same artist 428 and 248

Hatching a Plan   428
Off to the Races   248
Artist: Theo Burton

Theo is 7 years old.  He brought two ingenious PEEPs exhibits into the gallery.  They were in boxes with an actual PEEP hole to view them with.  He had lights on top of the boxes to light up the exhibit you were seeing through the PEEPhole.
My camera wasn't good enough to take a picture of the wonderful scenes inside.  Theo- If you have a picture, send it to me and I will edit this post with those pictures.
Here is a picture of Theo with his artist mom, Laura and little brother.

Now for an appology to all PEEPs lovers.  I usually have the names of all of the participants on my computer so I can credit them.  Something went wrong this year and that file seems to have disappeared.  I will do my best to NAME the votegetter, but if  I don't, email me and I will edit this with your information.  So sorry
This was an amazing piece from one of our wonderful schools.  Please let me know who you are so I can credit your wonderful students.
