Next MTAS Meeting 14th December, 7.30pm

It's Christmas!"

Hi Art lovers & Artists

 

Well this is the biggie so be sure not to miss this!

 

I have just been advised there will be a very 'SECRET' special guest attending our meeting this coming Tuesday!

 

Macquarie Towns Arts Society will be holding their next monthly meeting on Tuesday ^14th December, at 7.30pm in the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, 300 George St , Windsor . December is our Christmas break-up "Show and Tell" social evening & supper. Members please bring a plate for supper. All are welcome and you can bring a painting to show or bring new painting/drawing techniques they have learned.  It's an opportunity for everyone to show off their creativity during the year (paintings, pottery, handicrafts etc. etc.), talk about something of interest (travels, workshops, new ideas etc.). Exhibition prizewinners don't be modest! ....no Show & Tell?.... just come and have some fun! We will be raffling one of Jo Penn's drawings, $3 per ticket. There will be a lucky dip of the entries too!

Everyone is welcome to our meetings held each month on the second Tuesday meeting - $3 for members & $5 for non-members which includes supper & a chance to talk to artist, network with other art minded folk and catching up with Art News from around the district.  Contact Narelle for more info on 02 4565 9222."

Many thanks!
