Our program for March will be our critique night.  Bring one or two pieces, completed or in progress for our guest educator to lead us through ways that we can improve our work.  These may be pieces you are getting ready to put in the Spring Show, or something you are just starting.

Don’t forget the drawing each month for the “freebie”!

Present numbers sit at 34.  That is great, and we have several new members to add to our booklets.  If you have an orange membership booklet, please include the following new members.  If you do not have a booklet (new members?) you can pick one up in the gallery, or at our next meeting.

Plans are in the making for the LAG Art Garage Sale to benefit the Lincoln Artists’ Guild in their endeavors with promoting art within the community and encouraging beginning artists by bringing in presenters to do meetings and programs geared to art.

The date set aside is Saturday April 9th from 8 – 2.  Members are encouraged to go through their studios, garages, etc. and donate new or gently used artistic items (art books, markers, paints, brushes, art tools, etc.) that they no longer need or want and bring to the gallery during gallery hours the entire week April 6-7 and 8.  You do not need to price anything, as the Guild volunteers will do that so there is consistency with prices from item to item.  We will also be looking for volunteers for Friday night and Saturday.  Any items not selling at the sale will be donated to various children’s groups for their after-school clubs or activities.

Hope everyone can get out a box or two, start filling them up and bring to the gallery.  Questions can be referred to Jan Garvin at 402 318 9757

These are the two books that Keri Kriston recommended during her capturing the colors of the eye.

Kirk Kuenzi also recommended several books that he enjoyed.

Lastly, our previous judge and critique guest; Ted Pardy let me know of a just released book that he thought might help out the landscape painters.

Gretchen Olberding did an evening program for the Guild on pastel painting, and during her demonstration she introduced us to various tools she used.  She has since misplaced the sharpener that she showed us and wondered if anyone at the meeting may have picked it up by mistake.  If you find it, please let her know.
