Clairan Ferrono Update

Greetings All,

I think this is really fun: One of my pieces Pansies will appear on a billboard September 14-16, 2012.The Quincy IL billboard can be seen while driving east bound on Broadway Street just past 24th Street. The sign is just under 2437 Broadway Street. The billboard can be seen on the left side of the road. If anyone out there sees it, please let me know! I'm getting a kick out of this, and another piece or two will be appearing later on in the Atlanta area. Stayed tuned.

MEMBER'S EXHIBITION:

Blind Eye: The Result of Doing Nothing, the first ever Midwest SDA members' exhibition.Which will be anofficial part of Chicago Artist Month, including an artists talk on October 20th.

Exhibition Concept:  Too often we see tragic situations that result from the lack of action. This exhibition hopes to explore the destructive results of ignoring a situation, including people's ignorance to thinking everything will be ok when they choose to not get involved in making the world a better place. This includes small everyday actions to the grand and global.

Pieces will be 15" x 15" and must be able to hang on a wall

Due in early September 2012

Jeanette Thompson, the SDA rep has invited SAQA members to also contriubte to the exhibit!

Great meeting and workshop on July 27

Hi everyone,
We had a great day last Friday. We had about 23 people present for a combined SAQA/SDA meeting. We toured my studio and the old building that it is in, ate great food and then most people stayed for the Acrylics workshop offered in the afternoon by Sandy Bacon, the rep from Golden Paints. There was lots to learn in a short time frame but Sandy handed out a very informative packet of information. In addition the rep from Princeton Brushes was there and she gave away samples to everyone of their new silicone brushes which look very interesting. Here are a few photos of the meeting and the workshop.

Pat Kroth will be sending out info very soon about a new SAQA exhibit proposal. It looks like we have potentially 4-6 venues for a show that will have a deadline of September 2013. Note 2013. A whole year away so we have lots of time to make beautiful entries.

Information on our next meeting will be going out soon.
