Hello ACAA members
It’s that time of year again, so start working
on your fair entries!
The next meeting of the Artists Association
is Wednesday, May 10. Instead of a demon-
stration, Sharon Galligan will be offering sug-
gestions on how to improve artwork you
may wish to submit to the fair in July.
Members are encouraged to bring a couple
of pieces—completed or not—for this most
gentle but valuable critique.
Sandra Campbell
Charity Fundraiser Event a Success

Calaveras Art Council Veteran’s Project http://www.calaverasarts.org/calaveras-veterans-art-project.html
At the back of the Calaveras Art Council's Gallery is a staircase reminiscent of the staircase in Norman Rockwell's The Home-
coming G.I. Beginning the first Sunday of April (April 2) the staircase at the gallery will be decorated and models in period uni-
forms and costumes. The models will create scenes saluting our veterans; artists are encouraged to attend to gather inspiration.
Music of each period will add to the mood.
Each successive first Sunday—May 7, June 4, July 2, and August 6—will feature a different war, starting with World War I up to
the current conflicts. Artists, writers, and musicians are invited and encouraged to create work based on the models and decora-
tions, and to submit work for a gallery show.
Artwork created from the inspiring scenes will be displayed in the Council Gallery from Saturday, September 30 through Satur-
day, November 11, in honor of our Veterans. On Saturday, November 11—Veteran's Day—we will host a reception honoring
Veterans and artists. Attending artists will be featured in social media campaigns as well as press releases.
While as RSVP of your interest would be appreciated it is not required. There is no charge to participate although tipping the
models would be appreciated. You may come any time after 10:00 and stay as long as you want until 4 p.m.
Artwork created from the inspiring scenes will be displayed in the Council Gallery from Saturday, September 30 through Satur-
day, November 11, in honor of our Veterans. On Saturday, September 30 we'll have a special event celebrating the arts and our
veterans in San Andreas. On Saturday, November 11-Veterans Day-we will host a reception honoring Veterans and artists.
