My goal is to capture the feelings of summer on our coast. \nwww.carolkeefe.com \nBobby Reeve’s Artist Statement \nI always wanted to fly\, and I don’t mean a plane! Somehow this explains my love of birds\, their flight\, colors\, shapes\, songs\, and behaviors. I love the idea of a ‘bird’s eye view’ and carving and sculpting almost get me there. The gallery on my webpage is filled with examples of my work. \nwww.robertreeve.com URL:https://natickcenter.org/event/bflart21324/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library – 58 Eliot Street Natick\, MA 01760 United States CATEGORIES:Cultural Events,Library ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://natickcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CarolKeefe.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240129T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240129T210000 DTSTAMP:20260406T231934 CREATED:20240125T152944Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240125T152944Z UID:10006652-1706554800-1706562000@natickcenter.org SUMMARY:The A Cappella Singers Open Rehersal DESCRIPTION:The A Cappella Singers are an accompanied choir of adult treble voices singing a mix of secular\, sacred\,  classical\, folk\, and Broadway pieces.
