No Meeting in October, see what is happening

 Dear MCS Members,


The weather is definitely cooler and Mother Nature is getting ready for her fall explosion of colors.  It will be a feast for the eyes.  Enjoy!

Thanks to Barb Thompson for sharing her technique for creating wonderful collage portraits at our September meeting.  A delightful, informative meeting indeed.  

Our works have all been delivered to the Tall Grass Arts Association Gallery for Congruent Fragments.   The show is held from September 30 thru November 4th with our Reception  held on October 7th from 1-3pm.  Tall Grass Association, 367 Artists Walk, Park Forest, IL  60466.  Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11am-4pm.

The Fall 2023 Creativity Retreat is almost here, September 27-October 1st.  Looking forward to 5 glorious days of creativity and camaraderie.  Safe travels to all participants.

REMEMBER:  No meeting in October due to the Creativity Retreat.  

See you all at the November meeting when Margi Hafer will show us how to incorporate watercolor with collage.

Take care,
