Dear Members, Patrons, and Friends,
As promised, Fall is finally here. I hope you are enjoying the colors. Perhaps you got to some festival or football game or just some walking among the trees. My husband Ken and I have been dealing with a continuous stream of doctors and hospitals for the last 6 weeks. Fortunately we are beginning to see a positive end to all of it so hopefully I will be back to normal soon. Then who knows what normal is, right? For artist’s we are never sure and don’t you love being able to use that as an excuse. Enjoy fall and have a wickedly Happy Halloween. Be sure to come to the November 1, 2016 meeting. Our guest seminar instructor, Anne Abgott, will be delighting us with an exciting demo. The Board will meet at 6:00 pm. Our regular Meeting is at 7:00 pm.
ANNE ABGOTT WORKSHOP
From November 1 to November 3, 2016, the Fairborn Art Association will be hosting Anne Abgott for a 3-day workshop. You are invited to visit her website at www.anneabgott.com for examples of her work and a more extensive resume. For additional information about this workshop, please contact Pat Dunker at [email protected].
