Weekly Critique group: Tuesday 1PM at the Santa Cruz Art League 526 Broadway. We will meet Tuesday December 12 and then not again until January 2, 2018. When we resume, the third Tuesday of the month will be an open paint day and/or presentation day. These have proved to be enjoyable. Bring your supplies and join us.
A reminder: We are planning the annual lunch/social/meeting for SCWS on a Tuesday in February. We generally renew membership at that time and discuss plans for the year and for our August annual show at the R. Blitzer Gallery.
