This will be the first of several off-site meetings….Constellation studios, located at 2055 O St.

Karen Kunc will demonstrate Printmaking, Letterpress, and give a tour of her facilities at Constellation Studios. This will give members a full understanding of what is offered and upcoming classes that are offered.  Karen will show her artwork and various samples.  Program starts at 6:30 (try to be there by 6:25) and ends at 8:30.   Any questions can be forwarded to Kathy Cartier  (Kathy@kathycartier.com) as she is the point person for this program.

Another great show is in the books.  Congratulations to Edgar Millican for Best of Show, Reida Wrenholt and Will Rennick for Merit Awards and Dennis Schmidt and Keri Kriston for Honorable Mentions.  Peoples Choice Award went to Pam Apley and her work “New Season”.

13 entries were selected from our Spring Show and those entries will be picked up in early June (tentative date is Sunday afternoon June 9) to be transported to Fremont for the ANAC annual convention from June 12 – 15.  Two volunteers (Edgar and Kathy) are going up on Wednesday June 12 to help hang our pieces; if anyone else wants to ride along we will leave Lincoln around 8:00 a.m. and return early afternoon.  Let Carmen know if you want to also go.

If you haven’t contacted Pam Apley with your intentions to show in Seward, please let her know soon.  She is compiling pieces for the show and needs numbers of pieces in order to plan the show.  Some of you have filled out a sheet at the last meeting, thank you for that, but if you were not at a meeting, let her know you want to participate.  There is a $10 fee for each piece for this two-month show (June and July) that will be on display in the Red Path Gallery on the square in Seward.  Great opportunity for a lot of people to see your work.  Added incentive is you can sell you work in this gallery!  Price your work accordingly as there will be a commission charge.  Please fill out the entry form and return it and your entry fee to Pam Apley by May 15 at 3420 Woodbine Avenue, Lincoln, NE  68506 Questions?  Get hold of Pam (p.apley@icloud.com) or 402 429 6920.

Tentative hanging day is Saturday June 1st.  Seeking volunteers to travel to Seward and help hang the show!  Interested?  Talk to Pam at our Tuesday May 14th meeting OR if you can’t go Tuesday, let her know you want to help.

There will also be an afternoon meet and greet for the public to visit with the artists.  Tentative day for this is June 22nd or 23rd.  Pam will be creating a list at the May meeting OR let her know you will come out and be available.  Great way to sway those buyers……..!
