Project Ideas for Spring and Summer

Our winter project is gradually getting done. Paintings by Linda Feinberg and Deb Funk have been delivered to Webster House. Linda’s painting is up on the wall of the conference room.

Carolina Davison is working on getting the building that the city owns (former Latin America Center at 521 Maple Street) turned into an art center. We hope she succeeds! She has already had a fundraiser and an open house. Lots of people are interested in this project.

Several ideas were suggested for spring and summer projects, including a sketch crawl (bring your camera or sketchpad, meet somewhere, then head out, do your thing, and come back to show everybody what you accomplished afterwards). This would be both a social and art event.

Several of our artists are interested in painting more utility boxes and will be taking photos to discuss which ones with the city. 

Tables will be available at Veterans Park during their concerts.  We might take a table one evening and sell some items as a fundraiser for our group.  Linda suggested we could buy notecards (Strathmore has some) and paint them to sell. Items to sell need to be fairly low prices as these are free concerts and people who attend are not bringing much money with them.

Another project from Webster House – finish up the 4’ x 8’ mural in their basement. We have some volunteers already and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished mural. Our next meeting is May 20, 2015.
