The warm weather has finally arrived! This is the perfect time to get out, meet a few new people and start painting! Even seasoned artists need a kick-start sometimes and signing up for a class can definitely put you back in the mood to create. And don’t forget, the fall Fine Arts Show is October 30 and 31 so it’s time to start creating some wonderful new pieces for the show.
The SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild is offering a full slate of classes in April for aspiring artists and experienced artists alike. Whether you want to try a class because you’ve always wanted to but never felt you had the time, or whether you want to learn a new technique or refine your skills, the SB Fine Arts Guild has a class or workshop for you. Don’t forget, you do not have to be a SaddleBrooke resident to take classes but a $10 fee will be added to your registration fee.
Here is a list of our April classes. Our May calendar is not yet complete.
