Even though it's summer, there is a lot happening at the art league. Val and Michele have one more camp session after two fun and successful weeks with the kids. Candi has added pottery classes, and is planning a raku workshop when the weather cools. Michael has resumed his acrylic painting class, and Connie continues to teach drawing; go to the Classes tab for more information on classes and open studios.

The new mural is coming along beautifully and we hope to have a dedication this fall. Larry has installed water fountains that provide cold, filtered water for the building. Our grant application to fund a new HVAC system for the main building has gotten through the first stage, so we wait with fingers crossed. We received a generous donation to help purchase new display panels for our future shows and are in the process of choosing the best option.

There are multiple workshops being planned, including one with Therese Ferguson and another with Helen Wheatley (go to the Workshops tab for details). Interesting demos have been lined up for our general meetings, which begin again in September. Finally, we have booked the Holiday Inn again for our annual art show next year -- dates are March 30th through April 2nd, 2023, so start working on your new art pieces soon!
