Reminder: MTAS Sept 10th Monthly Meeting AGM & Using Social Media for your Art!

Hello Members,
Our next Arts Society Meeting is coming up on Tuesday Sept 10th.
We are welcoming our members Mellissa Read Devine & Julie Simmons to talk about “Using Social Media to Display & Sell your art”. These lovely ladies, as successful artists, will have some peices of Gold to relay to us all. They will have a presentation and question time as well. For those of you who are not as commercial with your art it will still be a great learning experience anyway to see how the online world can be a great medium for showing off your artworks :)

This will follow our AGM held at 7.30pm where WE NEED YOU!!
Our society needs volunteers to keep us running. This year Narelle Ward, who has done a brilliant job for the past 3 years, will not be able to continue in the position of President and our current committee members are already stretched in what they are doing right now.. so if any of you or your friends may be able to take on this role or any of the others we have, please consider the position as we all know that many hands make light work!
