FAACE Member Update: Aug. 6th Meeting and Dogwood Gallery Art Show

Meeting: Change of venue. We will NOT be meeting at Dogwood Gallery. We will be meeting at our usual place, St. Andrews in the Pines, 7 p.m., Tues. Aug. 6th.

Agenda: Since we have so many NEW members we are going to do a mini-art-show so everyone can get to know each other. We MAY have an additional speaker, waiting to hear...

Please bring ONE (1) small piece of your art to "show and tell" on Tuesday. Bring your business cards and/or flyers, etc. Plan to give a 30-second description of your art of choice.

Also, Honey Corbin (our PR person extraordinaire) is going to be taking some photos for a press release. Please wear bright clothing that does NOT blend with your art.

Dogwood Gallery Art Show

We're excited to have the opportunity to showcase some of our member's artwork with Greg Blair and Dogwood Gallery. It's a wonderful Gallery. If you have not been, go visit and share the experience with your friends.

There are TWO (2) different "shows". FAACE members may apply to one OR both. Please read carefully as they each have different criteria.

This is a FAACE MEMBER Show only. You must be a member in good standing to participate in either show.
