Also among the volunteers, board members, artists and guests were Mike and Anita Worrell, Rebecca and Tim Desbrow, Bob Fleming, Barbara Baber, Virginia Laman, Bonnie Fincher, Pat Matthews, Karen andTerry Masching, Katherine Ann Trotter, Barbara Barnett, Ann Anderson, Dorothy Jones, Stephanie Hull, Melissa Compton, Courtney Blaisdell and Beverly and Pulaski County Judge Buddy Villines.

Proceeds from Art to Remember pay for Alzheimer’sArkansas’ Family Assistance Program - statewide grants that may be used by family caregivers for loved ones with Alzheimer’s (respite care, home modifications, in-home care supplies, legal fees) or for caregiver counseling.
