The Arts at St. Margaret's

"The Undercroft Dabblers" gather most Mondays over lunch to paint and draw and plan new events for the Undercroft at St. Margaret's. Two events are in the planning stage for the summer of 2005: an icon writing workshop and an exhibit of Artist's Way/Vein of Gold participants around the Lehigh Valley. Email Canon Shallcross for updates as information becomes available. 

The Undercroft at St. Margaret's houses art shows during the summer. For 2004, our second season, we sponsored a children's show.

ABC at the Undercroft:
