Meeting on Thursday October 13 at 6 pm

We will meet at the Arboretum starting at 6 pm for social time. Then a short business meeting and a Committee Fair are planned. There will be a few surprises!
Come and enjoy.

Members Online Gallery

Starting an online members gallery was brought up during our September meeting.

This will be a place to post your art for anyone to see. It can be for sale or just for show, and more important, it will be a way for us to get to know each other better.
We will need pictures and words from you.
You need to submit 1) a pretty good picture (digital image) of your art.
You will also need 2) to write the name of the piece and the medium, and any other pertinent info.
Please include one or two sentences about yourself or the piece.
Keep it brief but interesting. Artists will eventually have many pieces in the gallery, and info will accumulate.
You may submit as much work as you like, one at a time, to waaeblast@gmail.com
Ideally we will have one post per day.
If you have any questions, please speak with Susan Buteau at the meeting on Thursday.
This is for all of us!
