MAG Members,
Our next meeting will be a field trip to the glass studio of member Courtney Smith at 6:30 PM. The address is 618 Kent Road, Kent , IL. Dress warm. If you would like to car pool please meet a little before 6:00 PM at Parkview in the parking lot right off Pearl City Road. Please respond to this email if you are willing to drive or need a ride. We don't want to leave anyone behind!
Courtney has shown her stained glass work in MAG exhibitions and her expertise in the medium allows her students at Pearl City High School to experience the art form each year. Thank you Courtney for opening your studio for us.
A big congratulations to Roger Goodspeed who has a solo show up at the Monroe Arts Center through October. Five paintings were sold at his opening!
Congratulations are also in order for new member, Tina Cannova, who received a Cultural Leadership Award at the Freeport Art Museum's annual fundraiser on Saturday. If you have had occasion to meet and talk with Tina you won't be surprised that she would receive that honor.
How many artists does it take to change a light bulb? Ten. One to change it, and nine to reassure him about how good it looks.
Happy Art Making!
