The next meeting on Monday, March 26, will be important to attend for several reasons. The program will be quite fun and interesting. Marianne Miller will show us how she makes her wonderful dried flower art and help us to make our own as well. Marianne's work ranges from portraits to birds, landscapes to nativities. Remember to bring tweezers, the smallest scissors you have and any dried flowers you can make before then. Microwaving them inside paper towels for 1-1/2 minutes per side on med. will help you get a stock to bring to with you.
Our Spring Exhibit is coming up in three weeks. April 13 is our opening night. Artwork is to be brought into the Firehouse Gallery on Saturday, April 7 and Monday, April 9. Please finalize your paperwork and get it turned in as noted on your information sheets. This helps a great deal in determining how many areas we need to have ready to exhibit. Candis Freeman will be calling some of you for help in getting this show together. It is our best showing of the year and we want it to be a great representation of our Guild. Please consider helping in some way if you can. If you need any paperwork or information on exhibiting in this show, please contact Candis Freeman @ 407-415-0490 or Donna Borders @ 478-625-3727.
David Irwin will be at this next meeting to take some photos of artists if they need or want one made. These photos will be going into the Special Edition of the News and Farmer that is all and only about our Spring Exhibit and the participating artists. It is really important to help make this special edition, special so that the newspaper will want to keep printing this every year for us. As artists, it will help you to get your name and information out to the public so that anyone interested in your work can contact you.
Our Spring Exhibit usually brings in many people from out of town. This year the Art Guild has decided to have Music in the Park on Saturday, April 14, so that an art weekend can be enjoyed by all. Please plan to come to Helen Clark Park, (east of IGA) in Louisville from 4-6 P.M. and bring your families and guests to hear Pretty Petty from Augusta. David Irwin is in charge of this venue if you want to help, have questions or suggestions.
It's important to support all the Art Guild events in some way so that we can keep them going and hopefully grow. Please plan to attend and participate if you can.
See you on Monday evening!
