4/7/2015: We had a very informative meeting in April. There was a lot of discussion regarding the Sultana mural in Marion and when we needed to start on it. The City of Marion has agreed to pay up to $1000 for paint, brushes, rollers, and etc..whatever we need to get the mural completed. There were a lot of activities planned by the city regarding the sinking of the Sultana so we agreed to start painting as soon as possible, weather permitting.

Sandra Younger was able to check with Caroline Redfern at the library regarding our ‘Members Show’ this fall. Please make note of these dates: 10/16/2015 for hanging paintings. 10/18/2015 for reception. Start painting!

We haven’t had a workshop yet but Sherry Lovelady said she would try to locate a Glass Artist to do a workshop for us.

James House presented an excellent program for the April meeting. It is nice to have our own members sharing their talents with everyone. We still need people to volunteer to present a program for the months of June, August, November, and December.

Just about everyone brought something to showcase their creative side for the month of April. May: your challenge is to create anything that makes you think of May (flowers, Mother’s Day, Maypole, etc)

See you at the meeting!!!

Meeting Jan 6, 2015

https://www.facebook.com/DeltaArtistsSociety

What's up lately at the DAS?

Well, we had an awesome sale at the Sugarplum Market in December.
Ideas were flying around at the meeting last night.

Suggestions ranged from Painting/Art classes to glass slumping classes :open to both members and the public to bring in revenue and our names out there.

We are all excited about this 2015 year.

When it gets some warmer we plan on repainting the mural on Amazing Grace 2 to look like the Sultana. We should have it ready for the convention that is coming.

More shows and other opportunities are in the works.

Our meetings art class was 3d drawing.
You may have seen it on Pintrest where you make a 3d hand come out of notebook paper. Well we did it last night also.
Of course I did my 3d hand different (at least the second one) with shading.
