ArtSquare’s monthly gallery openings will continue to showcase original fine art by the area’s leading artists. On Friday, March 12, ArtSquare will host its first gallery exhibition, featuring paintings by Waterford artist Katherine Riedel and guest artist Patricia Uchello from Alexandria. Live music and refreshments will be served, and the public is invited to attend and tour the new facility. Both exhibits will continue through April 3.Help the Alexandria City Public Schools:
Alexandria City Public Schools are working hard to re-open as soon as possible (Tuesday they hope) and need volunteer help today and tomorrow.
Even though City employees have performed in nothing short of a heroic manner these past nine days, with the snow emergency we are having, many students will find it almost impossibly difficult to go to school without volunteer help.
More than half of those who attend school use bus transportation and many of the school bus stops need to be “dug out” to be useable. Everyone else walks and some sidewalks, especially those near schools, need to be “dug out” as well.
I know that many of you cannot even consider helping because of the demands of your business, but I hope that some of you might be able to lend and hour or two to help today (between 10 a.m. and Noon) and tomorrow morning to help walk students to school. If you are able to help, please contact a school principal, the schools below especially need help:
Patrick Henry Elementary School (4643 Taney Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22304; Tel: 703-461-4170 | Fax: 703-823-3350 Principal: Coleen Mann, Ed.D)
William Ramsay Elementary School (5700 Sanger Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22311; Tel: 703-824-6950 | Fax: 703-379-7824 Principal: Kathy Taylor).
Let me know if you have questions or need assistance…and send this to as may people as you can!!
He also has created lists to print out the images next to your top choices for your own personal list!
How It Works
One table is ordered by Art #, the other by Rank #. When an artwork is called out, find it on the left table and cross it out. Cross-reference that Rank # in the table on the right, and cross it out. When your name is called, the highest ranking, remaining artwork on the right is your top choice.
In the example below, Art #18 is called by someone else. Find Art #18 in the left table. It is Ranked #1. Cross them out. Now find that Rank #1 in the table on the right. Again, it corresponds to your Art #18. Cross them out. Then your name is called. Your highest remaining Rank # on the right table is Rank #2, Art #137. You get Art #137.
