March 10 2009 Art Guild Meeting
March truly has come in like a lion, with our first "big snow", and lots of cold weather. But of course it's just like the weather to keep changing on us... now that we have all experienced the wonderfully sunny 70 and 80 degree days, I think most of us have said to ourselves, "I'm ready for spring."
Well it's almost here! So why not take the opportunity to join Scott Boyle on one of his paint outs. Visit his website for details... http://www.scottboyleart.com/paint_outs.htm You'll get to enjoy spring and possibly expand your artistic talents.
This month's Art Guild Meeting was Tuesday March 10, and since our guest speaker was unable to make the meeting we tried something new... we watched an instructional painting video. We also decided to explore the feasibility of having a lending library of instructional videos. So if you have some videos that you would like to share please bring them to the next meeting in April.
RUN FOR THE MONEY update: If you are a runner or know someone who is please join us on April 18th and "RUN FOR THE MONEY". Make sure when you fill out your application that you list the Gaston County Art Guild as the organization you are running for. And... please remember, all donations made through the Community Foundation to the GCAG are matched by the CF... so we can really benefit from the program if we get the word out.
Our poll update... although we only had 5 people take the poll, all 5 agreed we should keep the crawls in Gastonia. Other suggestions including expanding the number of crawls, and helping other cities with their crawls.
Coming Soon to Downtown Gastonia: This springs Art Crawl is Friday 24 April 2009... mark your calendar. And since it is so close to Earth Day the Art Guild, Gastonia Downtown Development Corporation, and the local merchants have decided to expand the crawl into the "First Annual Gastonia Green Art Crawl." Information and details will be posted on our website soon.
Thanks to everyone who has given me their e-mail addresses. We now have over 45 addresses! Just a 100 to go:> Please send me your contact information and e-mail address if you haven't already... gastoncountyart@gmail.com
Don't miss the April newsletter coming to your e-mail box (and post box) soon. And on a personal note. I will probably be spending time with my new little one by the time we meet again in April. I look forward to seeing you all again in May. Until then... get creative!!!
