Anita Hampton's workshop was a huge success!
We enjoyed our first day at the upper garden area of the SB Botanic Garden. Ellie Freudenstein was a gracious hostess for a day at her Hope Ranch view home, and our final day was at Casa de Maria. Anita is a master artist and wonderful instructor. Thank you to Donna Moser who helped make this a wonderful workshop, and to Ellie for welcoming us to her home.
IMPORTANT DATES for your calendar!
1. CALL TO MEMBERS
ART ALONG THE CREEK: Restoring Land, Restoring Lives will be held Memorial Day weekend, May 28, 29, and 30, 2011 along Mission Creek (across from Rocky Nook Park) to benefit habitat restoration along the creek.
The Ingathering is at the site on Saturday May 28 from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Please note the time is earlier than usual. We need to jury, curate, hang, and label the show by 2:00! It’s $10 per painting or $25 for 3. No limit! You can join or renew at the Ingathering for $35. We welcome extra large unframed canvases if the artist can provide an easel!
When you bring your paintings to the ingathering, please find their category. Place like with like-- landscapes with landscapes, florals with florals, and portraits with portraits. Please DO NOT HANG any paintings but set them below the panels. We will have cardboard or other ground cover to place them on. The hanging crew directed by the curator will hang all the art. The better it’s organized, the better our art will look and the better our sales will be!
One of the good things about SCAPE is the camaraderie and teamwork of putting on a show. We need volunteers for site set-up, ingathering, sales, hanging and take down, signs, reception, and artists to demonstrate and hand out flyers. There’s a niche or two for everyone. Many hands make light work. Please email if you can help with site set-up fplomelica@aol.com, ingathering or sales princessleighhm@aol.com, or signs bkrowley@cox.net. Everyone must work a shift and you can sign up at the ingathering.
