2015 Programs
Please take the time to look at the
2015 upcoming programs. Thank you to Maureen M. and all who secured our program
participants.
Looking forward:
February Meeting - Photograph Opportunity
Date: February 1, 2015 will be
an all-day work day but we will have photographer available in the morning.
Photographer: Ben Cooley who
photographed our work for the Zhou B. Art Center show.
Cost: 1st piece free. If someone
would like more than one piece photographed there is a $10 charge to be
payable to Ben that day.
All members have the
opportunity to have one piece of artwork photographed but the main
purpose of this opportunity is to have a cd with new images to send out with proposals for new
shows.
There are no
restrictions on size but due to limitations of lighting at the police station Ben requests
no glass on the artwork.
Note: Please let Barb Boland know if you plan to take
advantage of this opportunity and the number of pieces by January 15th so we have
an idea of count for Ben. barbidoodle@comcast.net
