ARTfest

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted! Of course, that also means it's been that long since I painted . . .actually it's been even longer than that.  Since we have been home from our winter vacation I have been caught up in planning ARTfest - 100 days of ART.

The St Michaels Art League has recently been the beneficiary of a very generous grant from AT&T. We are using the money to promote the arts in our community by offering: Adult Classes, Children's Workshops, FREE evening Art talks, an ART hunt and opening a Member Art Gallery - all going on this summer.

I can not even count the hours of planning that have already gone into this - it's been fun to imagine and let our creative juices run wild. . .

I have been working on the poster and the brochure. The poster began with some committee ideas and has developed into a rather wonderful piece of art.

We are really excited about the variety of offerings this summer. There are three master classes - one in acrylics, one in using your phone to create artsy photography and the third one in watercolor.

The other adult classes are Travel Journaling, Collage, Batik, Acrylics and Watercolor. The children's offering are "Creativity Boosters - Finding the Art in you Heart", "Painting an Eastern Shore Landscape in Watercolor" and "Sweet Scenes" (Creating with jelly beans!) There will also be 2 children's Art Days - painting plein air.  All the supplies for these workshops/classes are provided!

So, those of you who are local - or you may who want to visit St Michaels this summer - take a look at the website and find out more.  Registration forms will be posted soon. The FREE talks are listed there, too.

The official check presentation takes place this coming Tuesday, April 1. You know, I had this awful thought . . . what if they come and say "Happy April Fools Day" and there is no check after all!
