The ANAC (Association of Nebraska Art Clubs) Convention will be held in York this year. The dates are June 7 – 10. With it being so close, this would be a great chance for all of our members to attend the convention. It isn’t that far west, and we could car pool every day and not have to stay overnight. I have attended three or four conventions and have always come away with something new and useful. The judge will be Gregory Summers from Overland Park, KS who is a plein aire painter. We are passing this along now to remind you to get your local dues in ASAP so that you, too, will become a member of ANAC and eligible to attend the convention. You can send your dues to Wanda Medina or as many of us will do, pay at the Christmas party, $35 a person or $55 per couple (plus OOTB gallery fee if applicable) and $12 per meal on the 21st.
