Delta Artist Society Newsletter

The second annual DAS paint-out went without a hitch. Four members atteneded the outing at Clara's Studio on March 16th. Everyone was on site about 10am and started to paint very soon after.  The day was perfect for the artists to paint.  Get your pallets ready for the next outing!  The date is set for April 13th at 10am at Sandy church.

The March 5th DAS meeting took place at Sandy's church. Helen started the meeting and led the discussion about the proposed ABC sales event. She is checking with Walmart for the necessary information. Get your arts and crafts ready!

Be prepared for the next DAS meeting on April 2nd to enjoy some of Helen's delicious refreshments. Unfortunately, no program will be presented.

ART NEWS
The Brooks Museum has an exhibition currently underway called:"Angeles and Tomboys: Girlhood in the Nineteenth-Century American Art"

"This special exhibition explores the many ways in which girls were portrayed in American painting, sculpture, prints, and photography during the nineteenth century.  Although the most typical portrayals are girls as innocent, passive, and domestic, there are alternative images of tomboys, working children,  and adolescents.  Among the themes the works explore : Victorian attitudes toward the nature and nurture of children ; the association of girls with fashion,  health and home; and the impact of the Civil War on families. Masterworks by American painters John Singer Sargent, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Cecilia Beaux, and William Merritt Chase are among the 74 works featured in Angeles and Tomboys."
