#artcontinues Painting Party on June 20

from former Art Teacher Teri Magner:

It’s almost summer!  This Wednesday, June 20, just might be the perfect opportunity to grab your friends and come paint and party together at our #artcontinues Wine & Painting Event at AmherstWorks!  These BYOB events offer everyone, of every ability, the chance to paint a masterpiece!  

While it’s still spring, the featured painting is Monet’s Le Printemps!  Paint a canvas, tote bag or apron (while they last)!  Think “fun” “friends” “a work of art for yourself”, or “a gift for someone special”!  

Summer Art Tips from Ms. Singer

Reminder! Ms. Singer needs volunteers to help tidy up and protect the Art Room and its resources for summer. Please see original post here and email her here if you can help.
