Letter from your President

Hello Art Club!

I hope that everyone has had a good semester! I wanted to remind everyone of our upcoming events. This Friday, May 2 is First Friday at Fusion Art on the Bentonville Square from 6-9 pm. Please remeber that Fusion is our community sponsor, so we need to show our support and attend. Afterwards, I would like for us all to go out to Buffalo Wild Wings in Bentonville for socializing. Last month we had a small group, and I would love to see more people come out. Also, if you haven't yet RSVP'd for the Terra Studios field trip on May 10t, please do so. There is a link on the right side of the blog where you can respond.

At the last meeting we decided to move the Field Trip to Terra Studios to Saturday May 10th, meeting at NWACC at noon and carpooling/caravaning out there. We still need to decide on a meeting place for folks who live in Washington County. We also decided to meet twice a month next semester. Hopefully more people will be able to find the time to attend with more frequent meetings. We are planning to schedule the meetings on different days of the week, to help with scheduling.

Our fundraiser went extremely well. We sold out of watercolor kits, reaching our goal of $500. I would like to thank Oscar Felan, our PR Co-Chair, for getting this ball rolling and for his personal donation to purchase the watercolor kits. I would also like to thank Stephanie Lewis, our advisor, for her donation of 2 Ipod shuffles for prizes. Thank you both for all that you have done for us.

At our next meeting we will be discussing the Terra Studios Trip, and deciding on a meeting place for Washington county folks. Mike Echols will be demonstrating his camera obscura that he bulit. And we will be discussing our goals for next semester and over the summer. Please attend the meeting so your voice can be heard.

Congratulations to all our graduating members! Please keep in touch. We can all benefit from your experiences.
