It’s October…welcome back snowbirds…just in time for the Fine Arts Guild Show

Janet Tucker

While the SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild has been hard at work preparing a fall class line up, we are also preparing for our end of October Fine Art Show. This year the show features painters along with ceramic artists, glass artists, fabric artists, mixed media artists and gourd artists. Don’t miss it (see details below).

Remember, you do not have to be a Guild member to sign up and take classes; they’re open to everyone. Our classes this fall feature a wide variety of mediums. There really is something for everyone.

Listed below are our classes from October and November. December is being finalized as this goes to print. Always check the website for the most up-to-date schedule, prices, descriptions and supply lists: www.saddlebrookefinearts.org/classes.
