Fall is the perfect season to give generously of your time and talents to others. Our community is vibrant this time of year regrouping with old friends and making new ones. ‘Tis the season to try new things and expand one’s talents and interests.
After a very successful spring Open Studio offering to all SaddleBrooke residents, Open Studio sessions in the Topaz Room will again provide a safe place for creative discovery for Guild members. At no charge, Guild mentors have volunteered to offer encouragement, answer questions and perhaps offer new ideas to include in your art repertoire.
Now is the perfect time to join the Guild and take advantage of all that is offered. Members range from long-time, accomplished and recognized artists, to beginners and art lovers. It is a perfect place to start your creative journey or to continue it. The membership fee is only $20 annually due in September. Go to http://www.saddlebrookefinearts.org Membership page to join.
