May Meeting!


Thank you to everyone that participated in the Artist of the Month throughout the season.  ​The six artists participating in the Artist of the Year contest, talked about their painting.  It is always fascinating to look into an artist mind to see how and why they created such a great painting.  Thank you to everyone that participated each month in the Artist of the Month and to all the monthly winners for opening up to our members about their process.  

Artist of the Year receives:
$50 gift card from Arizona Art Supply
1 yr membership
