Studio Notes

Our next meeting is Wednesday, March 28. 
We will meet at the VisArts center at 4:30 to see Oscar Munoz. Caroline Wright, curator for the True Luck Gallery @ VisArts will be meeting with us -  so please make a point of being in the gallery at 4:30. Even if you have already seen it, it will have changed!

We will then walk down Main St to Try-Me.  John Ravenal, a curator from the VMFA  and Pam and Bill Royall will share their insights regarding creating an art collection.

Take time to respond to each others work and statement as well as the art that you have seen in the past few weeks at Try-Me and elsewhere.
