I hope to see many of you at our annual Christmas party this Saturday at LEMA. If you want to participate in the Yankee Auction, (and you know you want to), bring a wrapped, art related gift of something you made or bought for $10 or less. You may also bring a few of your favorite treats to share. Punch will be provided. Business will be kept to a minimum and fun to a maximum.

Attached to this email you will find links to download the December newsletter and also the show application. Show applications are due by January 19th.

Future events:

The January meeting will feature a talk by Jackii Molsick on Painted Paper Collage. She will follow that up with a workshop on the same topic on January 19th. You can sign up for this workshop at the Dec. or Jan. meetings or by emailing Eileen Hinkle <ehcreativespirits@gmail.com>

The February meeting will feature a talk by Lee Bianco on how he paints historical characters in oil. This will be a chance to preview some of the work he will have in his new show at LEMA which starts on Feb. 22.
