Belleville Art Association Xmas Lunch

The Belleville Art Association had its annual Xmas lunch at the Ramada Inn last Monday. There were 44 members present, which out of a membership of about 120 is pretty good.

We raffled off some poinsettias and art supplies and raised some more money for the Christmas Sharing Program in Belleville. We support this good cause every year, and $5 from the sale of all miniature paintings also goes to them at this time of year.

Come and see the new show which starts next Tuesday.

I forgot to mention that the painting in the last post is the one I am using this year as my Christmas card - even though it was't actually painted with that in mind. I did it back in the spring. It is acrylics and done with a palette knife so there is lots of texture.

"Water, water everywhere"

This is the title of the Belleville Art Associations annual juried show. The opening on Saturday was very busy. Even the Mayor was there to make a short speech. The how is on all month at the John. M. Parrot Gallery in the Library building on Pinnacle Street.

Here is a list of some of the award winners:
Sorry, the borchure did not scan very well, so I will give you the Jurors Choice awards again.
