Here are some of the artists at the reception for our “Luminous Winter” show at Treehouse Cafe on Bainbridge Island.
We’ve been challenged to paint or draw a Thanksgiving, Christmas or Winter artwork and bring it to this meeting. Your artwork may be any media and any subject related to the challenge.
Be prepared to Show and Tell your challenge artwork at the Pal meeting and explain your process. Our masterpieces will then be placed on a table for all to admire. This lesson is for Holiday fun!
Something to think about – you have an opportunity to exhibit your masterpiece in the new Treehouse Café Show ‘Luminous Winter’ which runs Dec, Jan and Feb.
For information regarding the Treehouse Show, contact Kay Boyce. This is the final Third Wed event for 2024. Your PAL Third Wed Committee is busy planning educational, interesting and fun events for 2025.
