FAACE Update: June 4th meeting, plus other info

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, June 4th, 7 p.m. Our guest speakers will be Ed & Patsy Gullet. The duo have been creating art, running art shows, traveling to participate in shows and more for many years. They are a fount of knowledge in many, many areas.

They met when they were in high school art class together. They both have degrees in art --- Ed in industrial design, Patsy in art education.

They have been making a living with their art since they married. They travel mostly around the Southeast doing shows but have traveled throughout the US. Both have had work in collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Farrago Gallery Show

The FAACE show at Farrago Gallery was and is a great success! Thank you to everyone who participated. Many of our fabulous FAACE members came to the opening reception (and some brought food) even though they weren't in the show!

From Corrine Galla, owner of Farrago Gallery in Newnan:
You were all wonderful! Thank you so very much for all your efforts, hard work and FOOD! Everyone had a fabulous time, and the feedback on the show has all been so  positive. I can't say enough good things to express my thanks for helping to keep Farrago Gallery the freshest gallery in Newnan! You all deserve a big hug!
Best,
Corinne
