Features : There will be an Arts Fundraiser hosted by the TRRC, featuring Maryland's Poet Laureate Grace Cavalieri.  Grace Cavalieri is an award – winning author of sixteen books and chaplets of poetry.  She founded and continues to produce “The Poet and the Poem” for public radio, celebrating 43 years on air, and is now recorded at the Library of Congress.  She serves on the National Board of the “American Initiative for Italian Culture.”

 

            The fundraiser theme is “Glenwood Grace and Gallantry” and will be hosted on sprawling acres of TRRC pastures and lands, surrounded by the beauty and grandeur of one of the earth's greatest creatures, the horse.  The Arts Event celebrates the fanciful magic of the spirit of the horse, and will include an introduction to creativity and imagination with Grace Cavalieri (live and virtual through Zoom), a futuristic classical music session with percussionist Orlando Cotto, a wine tasting by Elk Run Winery, a gourmet dessert tasting by Juliana Serrano, and an Auction of a variety of artistic works including, but not limited to, paintings, jewelry, wood turning, glass blowing, sewing, crochet and needlework.  Artists and organizations represented include Johnny O'Neill, Diana Marta, Virginia Chandler, Samantha Furlong, Orlando Cotto, Anne Richardson, Anne Sieling, Caprice Miller, Jude Bates Anderson, George French, Teresa Girod, Horse Spirits Arts Gallery, Elk Run Winery, and Juliana Serrano.
