We just had our first budding artist class (for) kindergarten through second grade and they were at full capacity.

This is a chance for the arts council to show we appreciate member support.

I really want to stress the importance of membership. Last year membership about doubled the membership of the previous year.

This will demonstrate that when they send in their membership payment, it is going to support a variety of art .

This is a chance to show the members some of what the arts encompass.

The gallery show is our showcase. Being an artist is a lonely lot. You work in isolation a lot ... so it's important to see how other people react to your work.
