Those at the meeting expressed a great interest in having local artists do painting demonstrations at our meetings.

Painting Group – For those who would like to be part of a painting group, we will meet every 2 weeks. On June 4th we will meet promptly at 9:30 am in the club parking lot and go to Meadow Ridge to paint. Each time we could paint at a different place.

Publicity – The group would like to see an article in the LTCA newsletter about our group that includes galleries our artists show at.

Information – How to learn of what is happening in our area regarding art shows, workshops and gallery opportunities? Our ltpainters blog has links to local art organizations web sites; such is Fine Arts League of the Carolinas, Henderson and Tranzyvania Art Leagues and The Bascom in Highlands. We can also subscribe to their email newsletters. On our blog there is posted links to artist web sites. If you have a web site let me know and I will post your link.

Field Trips – There was an interest in having field trips to special showings and such. Mandy Kejllstrom would like for a group to come over to the Fine Arts League of the Carolinas for lunch and tour. Several are very interested and I will pursue this with Mandy and keep you informed.

Volunteering – Sue Fazio spoke about the ongoing summer programs at the Brevard Boys and Girls Club. We have an opportunity to volunteer as a group or individuals to assist, or to teach art classes. Those interested let me know.

Our Art Show is October 5th.

Leo Termin gave an extremely interesting talk on perspective in both painting and seeing. Thank you Leo.
