Hi, artists!
Keep an eye out for our upcoming Classes & Workshops schedule – coming soon… (if you’re a teacher and would like to teach at Art Central this summer, please contact me IMMEDIATELY!!!) I’m also looking for artists to do Demonstrations. Interested? E-mail me! (artcentralslo@yahoo.com)
Some of you have admired (or laughed at) my bumper sticker: “Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup”. I got this from Earthtones Gifts and Gallery up in Paso Robles – 1319 Park Street. Greg tells me they got some more in. I’d recommend checking out their store in any case … They have some beautiful things.
I just ordered some SOLTEK french-style easels – they are amazing – should be here in about 3 weeks … We also just got in a shipment of Drafting Tables. Logan will be assembling them as time permits, but you’re also welcome to buy them in the box! (Extra discount if you do!) … I’ll be going to another trade show next week, will probably have to buy some new fun stuff – watch out …
A reminder that I LOVE special ordering products for you…. please don’t hesitate to ask. If I can get it for you, I will.
I will send out a “Call for Artists” very soon, but July & August will be about “Wine & Vine” … this is an open group show – watch for details!
Please stop by the gallery to see our new artist, Gail Sheley Davenport. She has a real love affair with color & photography, and she combines them in some WILD ways!
Thanks, and happy painting! etty
