Robert Crum of Clearwater Studios is having a one man show at the Gallery at Clearwater. You don't want to miss this event, especially  you want to see a historical journey based on paintings that tell a story of  Robert's ancestors  and done in his masterful painting style.

The dates are :

September 1 through September 30, 2016
The Gallery at Clearwater
223 Crowell Dr., NW 
Concord, NC 28025

​Opening Night : September 9, 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm

The Hummingbird Festival at Reedy Creek Nature Center is coming up on August 20, 2016!!! We received wonderful feedback on the first Art Show last year so we are bringing it back again this year and we hope that you will participate!!!

The Art Show is free to enter and you can even offer your work for sale (with a percentage going to the Nature Center)!   You can enter up to 3 works of art (any medium) that reflect nature in the Piedmont.  For more details see the attached ART SHOW application.

We are also looking for artistic vendors. We would like to add to the experience of the visitors by increasing the number of art vendors at the festival.  If you don’t feel that you have enough work to support a vendor spot then you are allowed to find a friend to share a booth with. Art Guilds are strongly encouraged to participate. For more details see the attached ART VENDOR form.

Last year was a great success due to the wonderful artists! We hope that this year you can help make this year’s Hummingbird Festival Art Show and Sale a phenomenal success!!!

​Please pass along this information to anyone that you feel might be interested!

Keep creating!!!

Members, 

Our monthly meeting will be held this Sunday from 2pm to 4pm in the Gallery classroom.  Karen Wilder will demonstrate her LifeCards and as an added bonus, we will each get the chance to actually make one if we like. She is bringing all supplies. All I need is an approximate number attending for supplies purposes. Please email me at forgivemenotfairies@gmail.com or call me at 704-425-7039.  It is not required to reserve a spot. Come anyway, even if you do not respond. Everyone is welcome. I think this will be one of our most productive meetings .

See you all Sunday. Thanks so much for attending.
