MARK YOUR CALENDAR: UPCOMING MEETING DATES
April 12 - Artwork critique - We are planning a group critique before the Spring Show. All are encouraged to bring at least 1 piece of artwork you might be considering for entry in the Spring Show. The work can be finished, in process, framed or unframed. As a group, we will discuss each piece presented, offering positive reinforcement and helpful suggestons (using elements/principles of design/composition as our guide). We'll also discuss framing optons for each piece. Based on comments received from members throughout the year, many feel that this is time well spent. Please join us and as always, bring a friend.
