Watermarks The newsletter of the Central Minnesota Watercolorists July 2014 Message from the President January 2014 CMW July President’s Message Summer greetings! Yes, summer is bounding along with so much to offer our senses: rain, wind, sun, lush landscapes( slush landscapes??) ….and well, serendipity !! Much like the arts scene in the St Cloud and Central Minnesota region we are offered a bit of this and that to share at will and seek to inspire. So, shake the mud from your waders and check out the events! Melissa Gohman asked CMW to rally at short notice and bring in paintings to exhibit in studio C for the June 13 Art Crawl. Your response was grand! She sent this: Thank you; your members came through in a huge way for us many thanks!” Our CentraCare Woodlands Health Care Plaza continues until July 15th. Takedown is July 15, 2014 from 45:30 pm. Natilie Ratha, Director of Visual Arts MN has expresses her thanks to CMW. Two artists sold paintings. Kathy Braud has a show at Great River Arts in Little Falls; Sandra Driscoll has had an exhibit at the Whitney Senior Center. We had a successful Paint In at the Paramount Studio B June 10 and look forward to another successful get together July 8 th 5:30 to 8pm. People are sharing and readying for the July 17 “Art in the Garden” event at ClemensMunsinger Gardens. Kerry Kupferschmidt is doing a great job coordinating this. He’s ready for your participation as an exhibitor and/or assistant. Only 7 folks have signed up so far. I urge you to contact Kerry at 6129865396 or [email protected] . We (CMW) will sponsor another paint in at the Paramount August 12 5:30to 8pm. As you are probably working on new watercolors to show at the “Sizzlin’ Summer Art Crawl” August 22 at the Falcon Bank, come out to work and share with your colleagues. Remember to connect with Bonnie Schwichtenberg, CMW coordinator, to register and get the skinny.
