Meetings: 7:00 to 8:30pm, usually the first Tuesday of the month from September through June.
Always informative and a chance to socialize with fellow artists, the meetings begin with MAA business, announcements of interest and a welcome to new members. After a brief break for refreshments, our featured guest speaker, chosen from various disciplines in the art world, will give a presentation.
At one of the meetings during the year, we arrange for a critique of members’ artwork by a local prominent artist. Get-togethers in June and December are potluck socials and there are no meetings during July and August.
Next Meeting: Tuesday, December 3, 2024
In Person Meeting at Church, and a Christmas Card Exchange Social Activity
7:00 pm: President’s Welcome
7:15 pm: Keynote Speaker: Lori Ridgeway
8:15 pm: Social /Christmas Card Exchange: We are looking to foster the MAA holiday spirit by hosting a Christmas/Holiday Card Exchange during the social event which will follow the Members’ meeting on December 3. Refreshments will be served!
How the Card Exchange Will Work: Attending members are encouraged to bring one original (hand-made) holiday card (watercolor, collage, oil, pastel, mixed media, anything goes). Each card to be signed by the artist (generic message optional), put in an envelope that measures approximately 5X7 or 4X6 or thereabouts. Upon arrival at the church, each card will be put in a raffle box and then drawn and distributed to attendees – each card will be individually opened by the recipient and shown to group.
We kindly encourage everyone to participate, so everybody can leave with an original piece of art.
