The year got off to a rather slow, cold start, but the artists have responded to the theme for the New Year Celebration Exhibition by sharing their inspirations for the New Year. They celebrated the promise of a New Year, being good to ourselves and those we love, and help each other raise our spirits after the long winter. Make a date with yourself and your loved ones to visit the exhibit soon!
|
The opening reception for the Exhibition was Thursday, February 6, a warm gathering of good company, music, and lovely art – and, of course, the presentation of awards!
|
Nanette S. Zeller, a nationally recognized award-winning textile artist, judged the entries this time, selecting first, second, and third place winners and naming 3 additional works for honorable mention.

Informal Painting Group
Special Announcement: No Painting Group Wednesday, February 12th!
Meets Wednesdays, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. There is no charge, and you don't need a reservation, just bring a project you want to work on, art supplies you want to share, or just to watch and talk about a video. So far, we meet on Wednesdays, but if another time or day works better, let's see what can be arranged. By the way, any ideas for a name?!
|
Art Supplies Swap/Share
Several members have brought in art supplies, books, magazines, whatever they don't need, to share with other members who may want to try something new. It's a good way to explore, perhaps on a Wednesday when you are taking time for yourself at the painting group.
|
Monthly Volunteer Lunch and Share
Volunteers need a place and time to share ideas and get answers to questions, so we set aside the last Thursday of each month to meet over lunch - that's Thursday, January 30 for the first one of 2025! It's Bring-our-Own-Lunch, but we do have coffee, tea, water, and hot chocolate available, and sometimes dessert appears. Join us when you can, and if you can't, email carole.blaney@robesonartguild.org with your questions and suggestions and we'll share them with the other volunteers and get you answers. That's also a good way to let us know if you want to help on any specific project.

Thanks for your interest and help! Let us know what you would like to do! See you soon.

These regular meetings are scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of the ending month each quarter: March 20, June 19, September 18, and December 18, 2025. They are a great way to learn what is happening at the Art Guild, what is planned, and to share your ideas!
