applauding! Let these members know.

Are you a giver/complainer or a taker? We each have
something to give back to our group….time, new ideas,
support, mentoring, and passing to the next “generation”.
Pacific Gallery Artists is a nonprofit organization founded in 1946.
The purpose of our organization is
to promote art in the Pacific Northwest, interest the public in the work of local artists
and cooperate with local groups in artistic
enterprises.
Membership is open to practitioners of the
fine arts, including sculpture, painting and
drawing or someone just appreciating art.
Our members are novice, to well known 2D
-3D artists, plus many teachers.
We have enough money now to pay for
perks (WEB site; membership shows/
awards; demonstrators; newsletter; meeting
room rent; misc. supplies, etc.). Granted
there have been times we haven’t had money. Membership tends to go up and down.
Membership dues keep us somewhat a float.
Many members are older and do not drive at
night. In fact if someone needs transportation let us know, hopefully someone is in
your neighborhood.
If each one of us spread the word & support
our officers with the choices they have to
make, we can maintain a stability to have an
active club.
Check with Marcy regarding
your new name tag,
then please wear it and return
to the new box after meeting.
Try not to wear it home with you!

Program March 8th - Patty Finnigan
Using Alcohol and Ink, Patty, a long time

the inks. There were
spontaneous designs and
beautiful colors. Her
demonstration was a warm up for the workshop, looking forward to Patty’s
workshop April 16th. Below members definitely were having fun & being
creative.
