Sorry for some of the wacky print on some of the notices.
The "Blog Gremlin" is running amuck here today.
The information is correct but the fonts are NOT!
Hope you can read everything ok.

ART AFTER HOURS

April 24 - 6 pm - 8pm at Henry's

In the spirit of continuity and appreciation while Jay is out of town 

Anne Kurowski is going to step in for Jay at this event.

The topic for this event is "Critique".

Bring one or two paintings that you would like feedback on, a work you are having trouble resolving or a work worthy of competition.

A fresh eye can often perceive problems that you have been staring at and not recognizing.

We will have guidelines available at the event.

Again, if you are interested, please RSVP to Anne Kurowski at sezanne@ec.rr.com to secure your place.

No texts, calls, letters, or messages via friends please.

Space is limited to 30 people so this is on a first come, first served only basis.
