SAQA Parlour Meeting in BC, June 14th, 2011
For our first meeting we will follow the agenda Anna used in Sask. And of course we will talk about whatever strikes our fancy. Show and tell is always interesting and reviewing the critiquing guide lines would be helpful for all of us.
We would also like to hear from anyone that attends the conference in Denver.
I would like to say thank you to everyone that took part in our first Western Canada call for entry. I will pick up any pieces the were accepted for the show at the meeting and save shipping for anyone that can attend.
Please bring a friend with you. We love to show our art to everyone and possibly gather new members.
I would also like to invite everyone to the show July 2 and 3 in Gibsons.
I hope to meet many of you at Jennifer's, it would be great to connect faces with the names.
Jennifer would appreciate knowing how many are able to come.. so I have included her email.
If you have questions or suggestions please let me know.
