Spring show registration is open!

Hello everyone,

We hope you are getting ready for the spring show! Last week we visited the venue and were very impressed with its size and beauty. Now we need all of your art to impress the masses.

Posters will be available very soon. Plan to pick some up at the Feb 27th meeting. We need your help getting them out!
DIY printer/cutters: see below for downloadable stuff.

------------------

Meeting: February 20th; 7:30pm
Kazu in Cummins Station
eatatkazu.com

This week:
SWAP! Meet and swap art supplies that you no longer want or need. Need to find a new home for those oil paints you bought and have finally admitted that you're never gonna use them? or the huge roll of paper your workplace 'donated' to you? found objects? random vintage photos? black lights? glow paints? scrap paper/mat board? old, gently used tools?

We'll also discuss the UPtown Artists' Swap trip. (see below)
-------

New to the group? come out and meet some folks, hang out, have a drink or eat some good food. We're nice, we promise.


------

Feel free to bring any promotional stuff for your exhibits or just bring yourself to tell us about what you're doing.

------

Remember, ALL artists are welcome. Please join us. We hope to see you there.
