The Albert Lea Art Center’s 2015 Art and Garden Tour was a success with thanks for wonderful weather that held on for the event and to many individuals who made the tour possible. First of all, our sincere appreciation to the generous gardeners who so willingly displayed their gardens and shared their expertise with the many visitors. The gardens were different, but all were wonderful and showed the artistry and the careful attention of the gardener. We also thank the artists who were a fitting complement to nature’s splendor. The event could not have taken place without willing volunteers who took tickets, delivered signs and did all the other tasks involved.

The Art Center is most grateful to Thrivent Financial Services and the Albert Lea Seed House for their supplementary funds that extend programming opportunities for the Art Center. Others deserving recognition are Jensales, who donated the printing of the tickets, and the Albert Lea Tribune for its coverage of the event. We especially thank all our visitors who made the planning and work worthwhile with their questions, smiles and words of appreciation.
