Hi to all, just to let you know what the Association of Arts plan for the near future:

1. Huttington Day care: Aids orphans at this day-care near Kruger Gate is desperate in need for toys . Yvonne Ankerman asked us if we could approach our members asking to donate old art material such as crayons, pencils , colour pencils est. I am sure that you will be willing to support this as we all know how therapeutic art can be. I have already received NEW crayons and colour in books! Please contact Yvonne direct on 083 2801693 as she is willing to run this seeing that she is in close contact with Thembi at the day-care centre. (the web page for the centre:http://huntingtoncare.googlepages.com/)

2. We are organising a Members exhibition in March next year at the Banquet Hall ,Civic Centre in Nelspruit. Official opening with "cheese and wine " and the exhibition will run for 4 days (23 to 26 March) There will be a selection committee involved. This a wonderful opportunity and we invite you all to participate. PLEASE let me know if you are interested to submit work and if you have any contacts re printing of invitations, sponsors or anything else that can help with this project !!

3. Early next year we also plan to hold a workshop: but this time not FOR the artists but BY the artists for up and coming artists in rural areas! I am approaching our Arts and Culture department to provide us with names of such "aspiring artist’s " names , should you know of someone please contact me and it would be great if I all the members support this! These artists will then have the opportunity to exhibit with the members at the Civic Centre in March.


This in n Association for all artists and art lovers and your involvement is vital to make it work!
So please respond to this e-mail, If you have not yet joined, contact me , we do have a bank account so payment won’t be a hassle!

Regards
Ilona
