Members of the Month:  Valerie & Al Tarigo

It has been a privilege to be members of the LIM these many years. It has also been satisfying to serve on LIM’s Annual Golf Tournament Committee since its inception many years ago. We know that the LIM tournament generates much needed funding to support the arts education of young school children and should be supported by all.

Of your recent special exhibits, we especially liked the Ansel Adams photography, 1939 World’s Fair art & memorabilia, and the cover illustrations of Norman Rockwell. We also enjoy seeing art exhibited by grade-school children.

Since there is a history and interest of illustration and graphic design in the family, we would welcome a special exhibit of illustrators and cartoonists, such as exhibited by the Rhode Island Museum of American Illustration.

We look forward to your future endeavors and offer our best wishes for the continued success of LIM and all of you who work so hard to assure it.
