New Year's Resolutions: A MOFA Show for 2003

Come the end of a year people begin to reflect on the twelve months just past and look forward to the next twelve. At the end of 2002 we asked the members of MOFA and ATWAS to share with us art works that best spoke to them of their hopes for 2003 or even just paintings that were inspiring to them as the old year ended and the new began.
