Exquisite Corpse

It's time to prepare for our next MCS-Exhibit, "Exquisite Corpse."  Attached to this newsletter is the registration form to be filled out and returned to Laura-lonecrow4@gmail.com, or mailing address is 6718 Dale Rd, Darien, IL 60561.  This exhibit is an experiment for possible traveling exhibition, at this time the artwork will not be up for sale.  We do not have a place to store them as hopefully planned but they are small enough to store them yourself after the show for the next opportunity.  From the images shared and shown over the last few months we are going to have a great exhibit.  Any questions please contact Laura. There will be a digital postcard to be shared shortly.  Please read through the registration form and note the drop off time and pick up time.
Thank you,  Exquisite Corpse Committee
