AUGUST 2022

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

COCKTAIL RECEPTION

 

On Thursday evening, August 4 from 5 PM to 6:30 PM our Artist of the 

Month Gallery at the Palmetto Club will once again be hosting its regular monthly cocktail reception!

 

We have a special treat in store for everyone this month. There will be a variety of 3D Works in our Case from our Member Artists: Cyndi Pollack, Margie Sone, Phyllis Aaron, Hanah Burtnik, Billie Collins, Sandra Hodge, Debbie Leecock, Edie McKinney, and Michael Mulqueen.

 

This month, held over by popular demand, we'll be featuring a wonderful selection of PHOTOGRAPHY from 15 of our members. These wall art pieces will be on display presenting landscape, wildlife, and flora art pieces of the spectacular shots they captured through their lenses.

 

Also, check out a brand-new display of artworks in our LAA/Sound View Member Gallery.

Bring your guests - everyone is welcome!

This month we will continue with our "Literary Devices" themes to bring you back to your days in English class!  August's theme is Literary Devices #2 - METAPHOR, SIMILE or HYPERBOLE. The TITLE of your piece must contain one or more of these literary devices!
 

And don't forget...participation in our Virtual Gallery will benefit those of you who do not have the opportunity to accumulate the 6 volunteer hours necessary to become an Artist of the Month. One volunteer hour will be awarded for every 2 pieces of art entered into the challenge. Maximum hours that can be used in this way towards the AOM requirement are 3 (6 posts).

GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS

Please note that due to a lack of member participation we are forced to cut back on our General Membership Meetings.

Beginning in October, these enjoyable meetings will only be held three times per year - October, January, and May.
 

Much time, effort, and expense goes into the planning and set-up of what was once a monthly get-together with a talented and informative art-based guest speaker. Unfortunately, with only a handful of attendees, we can no longer offer them on a monthly basis. If we see that participation increases, the Board will consider reinstating these meetings back onto our calendar.
