The cost is a $5.00 donation to the MAC Scholarship Fund. Please sign up at the gallery or contact instructor Patty Oliver-Smith at pattyos@earthlink.net or at 802-755-6772.
“Think about a friend or relative, mentor or competitor; hero or villain, who has played a role (major or minor) in your life story,” said instructor Oliver-Smith. “And you can bring a photo or an object that reminds you of the person you want to write about along with something to write in or on.”
The MAC Center For the Arts, a 501C-3 non-profit organization, is located at 158 Main Street in Newport. For more information please call 802.334.1966
The “MAC says, HELLO SPRING?” fine art exhibit opens April 11th and runs through Saturday June 7th. The event, which takes place in the Downstairs Gallery at the Memphremagog Arts Collaborative, features four painters: new members Nettye Lamkay and Ann Stafford and original members Pat Lipinski and Darlene Ratte. Each painter will have a dedicated space in the large downstairs gallery to display their spring-inspired work which includes landscapes, flowers, and more. The art opening takes place on April 11 at 5pm at 158 Main Street in Newport and is free of charge.
“We thought that inviting two of our new members to show together with two of our original, would make for an interesting exhibit,” said Victoria Mathiesen, an exhibit organizer. “Beautiful work, each artist with their own distinctive style and way of working which we hope will be a welcome to spring. The question mark in the title relates to the unpredictable weather we have had this winter with new snow on the ground here right now and, who knows, it might even snow in April.”
