The weather is beginning to change and we may get some long awaited rain that will heal and cool us down! I thought it was a good time to share what’s happening at the Center!
We have some new classes in the works for adults and we are planning on beginning a new Saturday morning structure for our younger artists. We are looking for art instructors to work with Dean Kindle, our Education Director, to develop and promote classes for September, October and into 2022. We offer a great pay structure for our instructors, and we are open to most art mediums. Please chat with Dean for more information.
As you are probably aware, Maple Grove Arts Center, is run by the generosity of volunteers keeping the doors open and doing all the back room admin. We are always looking for volunteers to join our team! We have openings for volunteers who would like to open the space on times that suit them. Please make contact with Kristina Makousky, our Volunteer Coordinator, for more information.
One of the great things about volunteering during the week, is that you can set-up an arts based interest group. We have two such groups already.
Wednesday - 11am - 2pm - Writers’ Studio - run by Marj Helmer
Friday - 10am - 1pm - Open Art Studio - run by Val Coopet
Each group gets a page on our website and a group FB page. It’s a great way to meet new people and promote the Center. All that is required is that each attendee has a current advocacy.
We have an event on September 28th, 7pm - 9pm that will be hosted by the Writers’ Studio and all are welcome to attend either to read a piece they have written or just to listen to others. We will have coffee and cookies to share! We hope that you will enjoy yourself so much, that you will want to join the Wednesday group! Please contact Marj Helmer for more details.
Our next Gallery Show is the Black & White with a Splash of Red and the opening is September 23rd, 6:30pm - 9pm. It’s a great way to meet the artists who created the art and maybe purchase a piece of new art for your home or as a gift. An official evite will be sent out soon!
That’s it for now! Thanks for reading and hope to see you soon!
