FEATURED ITEMS
An Historic Beaded Necklace
This lovely piece was contributed by Beverly Ray of Lake Lure, a well-versed woman in the art and business world, known for her dedication to promoting the arts. Mrs. Ray tells us this necklace originated in Africa and was brought to the United States in the early ’80s to be part of “Art at the Park,” an event organized by the then curator of the Cleveland Museum of Art. To express appreciation for Mrs. Ray’s tireless efforts and assistance in setting up this and many other community exhibits, she was given this historic treasure.
Mrs. Ray contributed her precious necklace after hearing about Casting for Hope’s aid to her good friend’s sister who was diagnosed with and receiving treatment for ovarian cancer.
