Eugene: A message from Brooks Hickerson

The "Save the Schoolhouse" Crestwell group is working to save their old school house at 2nd and D street, built in 1874. They have invited us to paintout at the schoolhouse October 7, 2009. They have also arranged a show for our paintings at the Crestwell Library. Paul Viel worked all this out for us. Thank you Paul. This is a great opportunity to paint in Crestwell and have a plein air show in Crestwell. I have put "Crestwell School house"on our October Calender (Wed. October 7th) , and I will be sending directions and additional information with the October paintout schedule. Here is the "Save the Schoolhouse" website:

Today, Sept. 21st, the art supplies go on sale at the Duck Store on 13th. Most of their art supplies will be 20% off for the next month.

Saturday, Sept. 26th, is the date to bring your paintings to Emeral Art Center, 500 Main St. between 11am and 4pm, to enter the Springfield Mayors Art Show. The prospectus is on the EAC website: http://www.emeraldartcenter.org/.
The Springfield Show is a fun event. More like the Refuse in Eugene than the Eugene Mayor art show. All paintings that meet the prospectus criteria are hung. Your painting does not have to be jurored into the show. So bring a painting to the EAC this Saturday.

Friday, October 2nd, pick up our paintings at the Island Park Gallery in the Willamalane Center at C st. and Mill St. This is a very good show. I recommend it to anyone has not seen it yet. I have been several times. The Willamalane Staff, specifically Emily Heilbrun, did a great job of hanging this show and making cards for us titled "In the Open Air"...good name for a plein air show. Thanks Emily.

Chamber Music Amici the first resident company of the Richard E. Wildish Community Theatre in cooperation with Emerald Art Center is sponsoring an art contest to select art to be used on posters.
