Dick Davis Projects

     Dick Davis became a friend of the Wil­mette Arts Guild when he first read the Wil­mette Arts Guild Arts Review. He was very impressed that a small local arts group could pro­duce such a qual­i­ty pub­li­ca­tion. He con­tact­ed the pres­i­dent of the Guild, Julie Ressler, and soon after­ward Dick was con­tribut­ing arti­cles for the newslet­ter.
     Dick is fas­ci­nat­ed with the Mex­i­can Cul­ture and has a desire to pre­serve those cul­tur­al events, cos­tumes and cel­e­bra­tions so that com­ing gen­er­a­tions will have a record­ed his­to­ry of these times. It is a very wor­thy goal. Dick began to fund cul­tur­al excur­sions to Mex­i­co for Wil­mette Arts Guild mem­bers. The select­ed indi­vid­u­als trav­eled to the events and record­ed in pho­tographs, videos and text and returned home to have what they record­ed pub­lished and cel­e­brat­ed by our com­mu­ni­ty.
