Reminder – this Monday evening, June 12, at 6 pm is the CMW monthy membership meeting at the Paramount, in the lower level. The public is invited to visit one meeting before joining the group.
Susan Frame is the demo artist for this month’s meeting. Susan’s demonstration will be an overview of sumi-e, also known as ink-water painting or Chinese brush painting. It will cover a bit of history and philosophy, basic classical and experimental techniques, and a variety of subject matter. At the bottom of this page you will find four examples of her work.
At the June meeting you will also be able to sign up to participate in the Munsinger Art in the Garden Sale which is scheduled for Thursday, July 20th. The sale starts at 10 am so art will need to be brought to the upper level of the Gardens between 8:30 and 9:30 that morning. Your artwork will need to be labeled with your art club number and the price.
There are printed directions and an inventory sheet that will be handed out at the June meeting (or contact co-chairs Sandra Theis sandra@ktheis.com or Paula Tift paulatift@yahoo.com and they will e-mail or mail this packet to you. CMW is asking all participating members to also volunteer during the day if able–please sign up to do so when you register. There is a $10 participation fee to cover costs of the event. Volunteers are needed for setting up and taking down. Also, volunteers on each shift are asked to promote sales and, keep artwork secure, and ensure accurate accounting of sales so that they can be credited to the appropriate artist. If you have display items/supplies please provide that information when you register. There will be a cooler available with bottled water for volunteers working a shift. There are food vendors nearby if you want something to eat.
We look forward to an exciting profitable day. I find it enjoyable and fun to work with one another and get to know each other on a different level. Take advantage of the setting and view many beautiful flowers that will give you inspiration to paint!
