We look forward to seeing you at our June meeting of The Artisans Village Guild on Friday, June 9th, at The Peoples Bank, Lake Oconee Branch, located at 991 Lake Oconee Pkwy. The meeting starts at 10:00 am, but you are welcome to join us at 9:30 to have time to socialize with your fellow Guild members.

Guild Speaker: Dana Wiggins Thompson
Topic: New Ways of Presenting Art in Today’s Economy
Dana knows artists often stress about art sales. About when the next payment is going to come. And about how to keep more of it! However, the artists that are most likely to make a career out of their art are aware of their needs, costs, budget, and expenses. A very accomplished watercolor artist and fellow Guild member, Dana will present ways to save money with framing and matting and new ways of presenting art in today's economy.

Take a Watercolor Class with Dana! Her June class is FULL, but there are a few spots left in the July Class.
Introduction to Watercolors Beginners welcome! Come learn the basics of different techniques in watercolor painting! Artist-quality paints and paper will be provided.

Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. ~Kurt Vonnegut

The older I get, the more I find that you can only live with those who free you, who love you with an affection that is as light to bear as it is strong to feel.
Today's life is too hard, too bitter, too anemic, for us to undergo new bondages, from whom we love. This is how I am your friend, I love your happiness, your freedom, Your adventure in one word, and I would like to be for you the companion we are sure of, always. ~Albert Camus
