QUOTE for the MONTH
sent by JoAnne Henault

When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, “You mean they forget?” - Howard Ikemoto

FEBRUARY MEETING NEWS

Scripts & Scribes-Karyn Jeffrey, president of this organization, will be at our Feb meeting. This is a calligraphy group that has been in Spokane since the 80’s. They would like to partner with us for an art show. I would love to do some collaborative work with them as well. This means more people to help put on the art show and maybe draw even more people. It would be great to get one more group to partner with as well. This could be a great opportunity.

GLOBAL ART PROJECT

The Global Art Project is a project that speaks to me and I am hoping that other members will want to participate. There will be an art show on April 28 which will show as much of the art work from our area as possible. We will have another art show a couple months later with the art received from around the world.  Please check it out on line at globalartproject.org
Dead line for registering is Feb 28.
