Hello Everyone,

NEXT SHOW, “Where does it hurt?”, is June 15^th at the Essence Room on Jefferson Street. Registration is now open:

Also, at last week’s meeting we played with air dry clay during our Untitled 15 Minute Art-Fix. Thanks to Jodi for bringing the big bucket o’ clay!

AND, several people announced opportunities for local artists. Included in these opportunities:

1. Lance DuPre will be opening a new furniture store on 8^th Avenue just north of Broadway. He is looking for local original art to feature in this upcoming store. He is also looking for a mural/sign painter to paint a sign on the building. Email us for contact info.

2. Mar announced a new opportunity to show work in an alternative space – a very cool coffeehouse & gallery in downtown.

Email us for contact info.

3. Invitation to participate in a very special show to benefit a very worthy cause.
70% of sales will go to the artist and 30% to Pleases organization.
One art work per artist.  Please provide your own easel for larger pieces.  
There is very little space to hang work on walls. One night only show.
All you have to do is email that you would like to participate, bring your art work
and easel to the location on Friday, June 1st between 3-5:30, come to the
meet and greet and help sell your work from 6-9:30, take your work home
(if it doesn't sell) by 10pm.  Art should represent positive and strong women.  
The interpretation of this is up to you. Contact Tiffany Denton:
