Upon founding the WAH Center in late 1996 based upon my “Bridge Concept,” I was determined to ensure an enduring and long lasting high quality art center. To realize my desire, I came up with the idea of a membership program in which artists would participate in an annual member’s group show. So I organized and curated the WAH Salon shows for the past 22 years. I have stayed as the sole organizer and curator (except the last year, 2021) so that I could see how my envisioned program could be realized within my own capacity. During those long years, I got to know the salon members better, and we’ve enjoyed each other and we’ve grown together. I value and treasure the friendships we’ve established! The members have worked with me to support the program as volunteers fulfilling the necessary duties in order to make the show possible. I am truly grateful for having talented artists with kind and generous hearts who have helped the WAH Salon grow.
