Pastimes for a Lifetime proudly announces its Spring 2025 Student Gallery Pop-Up at the eclectic M Street Coffee Bar & Gallery! Selected works by art students of teacher/founder, Linda Wehrli are on display from June 1 – 15, 2025.

We are so grateful to the generous and gracious owner and coffee maven, Andrea Vavra for supporting the arts in our community. It’s been a few years since we last hosted an in-person exhibition, but we’ve showcased several stunning Virtual Student Art exhibitions via the online gallery platform, Kunstmatrix. In case you’ve missed them, check ’em out here.

The Gallery Opening Party on Sunday, June 1st, from 5 pm – 6 pm was a blast. As a sneaky little bonus, I decided to surprise everyone at the gallery opening! It was a joyous reunion seeing Linda, her hubby Barry, and the students.

Everyone enjoyed helping with the installation of the art show, while enjoying freshly roasted organic coffee, green tea lattes, and delicious baked goods. Certificates of Merit were presented to each student with their work, and a Certificate of Appreciation was awarded to Andrea. Big thanks, again for her hospitality! Photo ops followed.

Missed the gallery opening party? No worries! Drawings and paintings of stunning landscapes, architecture, adorable animals, and more are on display until Sunday, June 15th, 2025 during store hours, shown below.
