OPEN STUDIO TIME AT THE ART HOUSE kicks off next Thursday, June 19, from 11:00am - 4:00pm. NCAA members are invited to come together once a month for open studio day at the Harriet Alexander Art Center. No registration nor fee to attend. Work on your art projects, new or existing, in any medium. Bring your own supplies, a snack or lunch, and spend some time together doing what we love! This is a great opportunity to meet some of your fellow NCAA members, to spitball artistic ideas, to learn some new skills, and to just enjoy some quality time together. Mark your calendars... we hope to see you there! All dates are on Thursdays from 11:00am - 4:00pm. The schedule through the end of the year is as follows: June 19, July 10, August 14, September 18, October 16, November 20, and December 18. NCAA 55th CHRISTMAS ARTS & CRAFTS MARKET: Oct 31st - Nov 2nd Vendor Registration is now open! Please see the EVENTS page for detailed information. SUMMER BREAK: Although there are no General Member Meetings during June and July, the NCAA is never truly unplugged. Both in front of and behind the scenes, members continue to work hard to create a sense of joy in all things 'Art' and in everything the NCAA offers. Enjoy your summer! We look forward to seeing you at our August 18th General Meeting. SEASONS OF STRENGTH: Seasons of Strength is an art and history project to capture Coweta County’s journey of resilience and recovery after the 2021 tornado by honoring the strength of our communities, sharing hard-earned lessons, and inspiring hope for the next community facing a natural disaster. The NCAA is collaborating with Seasons of Strength to help support and promote this project by offering an Art Option! Local visual artists are asked to respond through their art to the questions that are being asked in the Seasons of Strength interviews. Artists can feel free to use an existing piece they believe responds to one of the questions, or create a new one. Artists will donate the piece of artwork to be part of a Silent Auction to help raise funds in order to bring the final culminating event for Seasons of Strength to life. NCAA Artists are also invited to Raffle a free 1:1 or group art class(es) to adults; all funds from the raffles will go to the Seasons of Strength project. How can YOU help?
Let's get involved and help bring this project to fruition! Let's help tell the stories of the community we love! Contact Teresa through [email protected]. |
