For those who
might have an interest in forming a loose knit group of kindred spirits
we have started an artists guild. This guild will
function as an arm of the Janice Mason Art Museum much the same way the
classes do.
Many of the
students of JMAM have indicated their interest in some time to work in the studio or work
with others. This DOES NOT mean that you must have taken a class
at the Museum but you must be a Museum member. Any artist
regardless of your perceived abilities is welcome. This group will
develop into a structure that best suits those who sign up.
The objective of the group
is to meet regularly at the Museum to paint, sculpt, draw or work
on your current project. It is an opportunity to discuss our
work with other artists and develop friendships within the membership.
Some of the
options are: groups working on painting or drawing the same subject; arranging
a field trip to photograph, sketch or paint; time together to critic our
art or visit other guilds. The opportunities are endless and we
would love to hear your suggestions.
There may be
a time that the group would want to mount an exhibit but the function of
the group would not be producing art to market. The group does not
hold business meetings but simply meets on agreed days to create and
discuss art. If this
sounds interesting to you please contact Martha Davis at the Museum
office for the time and place of the next meeting. Martha
Davis 522-9056.
