MBAA Meeting Reminder – This THURSDAY, 10/22, 6-8pm at Mtn. Brook Presbyterian Church

Hi MBAA Members!

For our October meeting we’re having a fun, informal party to get to know each other along with an art supply swap! Next Thursday night, October 22nd, 6-8pm at our temporary location, Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church, 3405 Brookwood Road. You will want to put this in your GPS and allow a little extra time to find it.

Park in the large lot to the left of the sanctuary and come in double glass doors under the far left covered entryway – follow signs. Bring a finger food to share, sweet or savory, (finger sandwiches, fruit or veggie trays, cheese straws, cheese, crackers, cookies, bar desserts, sweet breads, etc.) on a serving dish with a serving utensil – food can be store bought or share your favorite creation :). No kitchen access so bring ready to serve. No drinks needed.

Also if you’d like to, bring a few of your gently used art supplies for giving away, trading or for sale. Put your name on each item and a price, if for sale – please handle your own transaction. We’ll have a short business meeting – mostly about the Small Works Show – and then instead of a demo we’ll enjoy visiting with each other! We’ll also have art related door prizes.

Remember that you need to attend two meetings to be in the spring show and this will be a good opportunity to fulfill that and to get to know everybody.

We’ll see you this Thursday!

MBAA Meeting Reminder – THURSDAY, 9/17, 10 – 12am at Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church with Demo Artist Carly Strickland

If anyone can arrive a few minutes early to help with moving chairs and setting up it would be very helpful, as we are responsible for setting up and taking down in this new space.

Demo and other important info:

You won’t want to miss our upcoming demo at our member meeting on Thursday, September 17th, 10-12 at Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church! “Carly Strickland is a painter, illustrator, teacher, and collage artist with a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design. She never quite figured out that “Jack of All Trades, Master of None” is meant to be derogatory and not a challenge, therefore, she has fifteen years of professional experience in graphic design, children’s book illustration, pet portraiture, book/catalog layout and design, and art instruction. She works in oil, acrylic, cut paper collage, and, frankly, anything else she can get her grubby little hands on.”
