December 2 - Holiday Luncheon at the Olive Garden
Our annual
holiday party will be 11:30 am to about 1:00 pm at the Olive Garden at
Richland Mall. Ask to be placed in the Art Guild room. We
will order and pay individually. Besides socializing with those
nearby, we will also introduce the incoming officers, and honor our
scholarship winner and the outgoing officers.
December 2 - Holiday Luncheon, Scholarship
Award
Our luncheon this year followed the funeral service
for Charles Cagle, husband of our president, Nancy Cagle. Charles
has been a great help to Nancy, to all of us, and to many, many others.
He has always been willing to pitch in and help whenever a need arises.
We will miss him. Nancy was with her family, but she encouraged us
to carry on, and we did.
Our
scholarship this year went to MCC student Janis Jack. She received
$200, a certificate, a 2007 gallery level membership in the Art Guild,
and her lunch. Janis received the award graciously and passed
around examples of her work, which were black and white photography.
We also collected donations toward flowers for the
funeral and a commemorative plaque in appreciation of Charles for his
support of art. The plaque was applied to an easel which Nancy can
use to support art. Knowing her love of puns, we hope this will
not only let her know how much Charles meant to us, but will also give
her a chuckle from time to time.
December 6 - MCC Exhibit ends
Please come
to the Ball Performing Arts Center at MCC to pick up your art works
between 2:30 and 3:30 pm unless you have made prior arrangements to have
someone else do so. Nothing can be left, so those not picked up by
3:30 will be picked up by the exhibits committee. You will have to
make arrangements to pick your works up from a committee member, and you
will have to pay a $5 per work penalty for failing to make prior
arrangements.
Exhibits worth seeing
John
Vasek has his wood carvings on di
splay
for sale at Award Specialties, 431 Lake Air Drive, between Sanger and
Waco Drive. Most are in a glass front cabinet. The Red
Tailed Hawk that he showed us unfinished a while back is now finished
and is placed where it can look hungrily at the songbirds in the
cabinet.
Several
of our members have watercolors on exhibit at Art Center Waco until
March 30. The
address is 1300 College Drive, but to get there, go uphill on Highland
from College
Drive
and take the first left. Exhibitors include Lori Brubaker, Judy
Franklin, Joyce Haynes and Dorothy Johnston, along with many other
members of the Central Texas Watercolor Society. There are a great
many, very beautiful paintings.
We
have a new member, Linda Green, who makes embroidery pictures, one of
which is at the left. Maybe she will bring one or two to the next
meeting for us to see up close. She reminded me of an exhibit at
the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth. It is "Regarding the Land,"
which contains nature
photography of Robert Glenn Ketchum and Eliot Porter. The
embroidery connection is that some of Ketchum's
photos have been reproduced in Chinese silk embroidery by Suzhou.
The photography is beautiful, but the embroidery is truly amazing. One
is at the right. The exhibit will continue through through January
7, Check details at
