Calendar of artist events

I attended the May 21st Art Guild Meeting at the St. Helens High School art room. Present were Carolyn Curtis, Lee, Kathy Fellows, Alan Coppock, and myself. That was the last meeting of the year there because school will be closed for the summer. Darcie has offered to let us come to her house. We saw Alan's latest painting, we all shared our trading card size pictures, and caught up on what each other had been doing. Kathy had photos she transfered to cloth by using her printer. It was suggested that I add the artist outings in here that I was aware of at this point. So here they are.

May 27th there is a gathering of artists at Schreiners Iris Garden near Salem from approximately 10:00 am. Bring your medium and join the other artists. All levels. There is also a second date for that on Thursday May 29th. Artists from Portland and Eugene will be there that day.

First Tuesdays in Hillsboro from 6-8 p.m. is Artwalk. Many of the stores on and around Main street in the Old Town area have artists displaying their works.
