Post 63: Preview of PWAS November/December 2021 Art Changeover

Preview of PWAS November/December 2021 Art Changeover

The next art changeover at Clearbrook Center of the Arts is coming up on November 8 and 9, 2021. The new theme is winter, holiday - think snow, ice, cold, Christmas trees, decorated houses, Santa Claus, Rudolph and more snow and ice.

PWAS Member Art

Prince William Art Society Members are to bring their art - for the new theme and/or to hang no later than 10am on Tuesday, November 9th. Some Clearbrook Committee members will be at Clearbrook on Monday, November 8, 2021 from 11am to 3pm if you want to drop off art at that time. Otherwise, feel free to drop off artwork over the weekend (Nov 6-7) by placing the art in the storage room on the stainless steel shelving.

As always, please make sure each piece has two cards (one must be a PWAS card), noting your name, the title of the piece, the medium and the price.  It helps if the title of the piece is written the same as on your inventory sheet. <- by the way, remember to update that too, very important! 

 

PWAS Members: an email was sent out if you wanted to send me a sample of your new theme paintings...if you send me something soon, I can update this...

Don't Spill the Paint - Art Joke

Don't Spill the Paint will be an occasional "quick post" for a funny art joke or illustration. Share one with us in the comments below!

The Sistine Chapel ceiling may not be the greatest work of art ever, but

it's definitely up there.

I did get to see the Sistine Chapel once. Positively an amazing unforgettable experience.

 Anyone have a funny art joke or illustration to share?
