Artist Donna Yarish arrived at McDaniel College’s RiceGallery to gaze at Ryan Browning’s abstract paintings.

She left having made a new friend and with an idea for a

unique event of her own.Rather than simply display her abstract paintings, Yarishdecided to organize a night of the arts from 6-9 p.m. Friday atBirdie’s Cafe in Westminster.

In addition to serving as an opening for Yarish’s own gal-lery, Westminster author Stacey Coverstone will be on handfor a book signing and Westminster pianist Lydia Bandy willperform her original compositions.

Yarish met Coverstone while visiting the Rice Gallery.Coverstone is McDaniel’s academic secretary for art and arthistory and works inside the gallery.

Yarish struck up a conversation with Coverstone,

discovered she was an author and invited her to be part of the unique arts evening.

Lydia Bandy, a private piano instructor who recently re-leased an album, completes the trio for the exhibit opening.

“I just love networking,” Yarish said, “and I want to bringthe arts to Westminster.”
