Activities During our June regular meeting, Catalina Montaño presented "Curating with a Discerning Eye". She discussed, at length, how does a curator select art for an exhibit. Her presentation has been very illustrative and educational. We had a photo Field trip to Anderson. The trip offered architecture and landscape opportunities. It is an old town which offered a multitude of small scale subjects. The drive was short, and it provided a nice morning shoot. Our
special thanks go to Stephanie Carter, Sue & Roger Wheatley,
Bea Ann Kelly and Cecilia García for providing the snacks
and refreshment during our last meeting. NEW MEMBERS CORNER: We welcome the new members who are Pamela Moore, William Smith and Mark Mueller. |
