Mission Statement
The Mission of Kingwood Art
Society (KAS) is to encourage the
artistic development of local,
professional & amateur artist & to
cultivate an appreciation of the
visual arts through education,
exhibitions & community
outreach.
It’s always good to get input from our new members as well. Those
"fresh eyes" can sometimes see things that the more seasoned members
have missed. So please feel free to share with us your thoughts and
ideas. We hope you will take a look at the proposed changes to the
categories and divisions that are attached to this newsletter. We would
like your thoughts and comments so please bring a copy with you to the
meeting and we will discuss it in greater detail after the demo.
Don't forget you sale items! Clean out your drawers and closets and you
may make someone else's day!
Sincerely,
Vickie Voelz
