The Tillyville Times

Artists Wanted
by CeeCee Flynn

The Tillyville Art Museum opens November 22, 2004, only three months behind schedule. "Those pesky artists," remarked museum director Ms. Salome Salmon. "Endlessly fine-tuning their masterpieces. So what if we hung a few upside-down. Not the artists ... we didn't hang them upside-down." Ms. Salmon tittered. "Goodness knows some of them probably deserve it. Goodness knows it might have gotten some of their creative juices flowing."

The musuem will be open every day of the week. Patrons will be able to stroll through comfortable galleries and observe the works of Tillyville artists Dave Dziedzic and Leila Colbrese.

A special feature of the musuem is the Guest Wing where art by Tillyville Readers will be displayed. The first Guest Exhibition is "Lighthouses." Readers who are interested in displaying their lighthouse pictures are invited to email their original artwork to Tillyville@Tillyville.com or send it via US mail to Tillyville, PO Box 58, Brookfield, IL 60513. For more information please go to Lighthouse Exhibit Information.

Still time to get your free November membership. Simply write to Tilly@Tillyville.com with your request. You'll receive the daily Tillyville story free until the end of November.
