New opportunities for learning

Gail Kolenda, Education Chair

Did you realize you do not have to be an accomplished artist to join the SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild? This organization offers many different options for its members. There are monthly meetings with speakers offering information about new classes and what they will be, new products out in the market, how to create and share your art through social media and more.

This organization also sponsors the art presentations from the University of Arizona Art Museum.

For those wanting to learn, the Guild always offers introductory classes in many mediums. And for the accomplished artist, the Guild has its annual Fine Arts Show. Learn more about our club and come to a monthly meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at 4:00 p.m. Meetings are at the SaddleBrooke One Activity Center.

Or, just be bold and take a class; find your creative spirit. Below are the current classes being offered. The winter–spring session will continue with more special classes. Don’t miss out. Check the Art Classes page at saddlebrookefinearts.org for the most up-to-date schedule and information about each class. There are also free open studio times available to guild members. Remember, with a membership fee of $20 annually, each class is $10 less.

For more information and registration go to the Art Classes page at http://www.saddlebrookefinearts.org.

Some classes include the supply fee and others may require the supply fee to be paid directly to the instructor.

All classes are held in the Topaz Room, SaddleBrooke TWO Arts and Crafts building.
