Demo Meeting Reminder

2011-02-06T15:56:00.000-08:00

MTAS meeting Tuesday 8th February at 7.30pm:

Macquarie Towns Arts Society will be holding their next monthly meeting on Tuesday ^8th February, at 7.30pm in the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, 300 George St, Windsor.

Our first demonstration for the year kicks off with well travelled artist Marcia Rea.

Her paintings reflect a love for light, colour and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the Australian landscape.

Marcia has travelled extensively throughout Australia painting outdoors, often enjoying a cuppa with cows in a paddock after a day’s work“. Artists that paint outside can produce a better painting. You’ve got the atmosphere and you’re chasing the light,” she said.

But it was her trip to Venice that has inspired her work today. “It keeps drawing me back,” she said. “It’s the atmosphere, with the mist on the canals and the old buildings. It just looks like they are floating on the water.”

It's Christmas!"

Hi Art lovers & Artists

Well this is the biggie so be sure not to miss this!

I have just been advised there will be a very 'SECRET' special guest attending our meeting this coming Tuesday!

Macquarie Towns Arts Society will be holding their next monthly meeting on Tuesday ^14th December, at 7.30pm in the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, 300 George St , Windsor . December is our Christmas break-up "Show and Tell" social evening & supper. Members please bring a plate for supper. All are welcome and you can bring a painting to show or bring new painting/drawing techniques they have learned. It's an opportunity for everyone to show off their creativity during the year (paintings, pottery, handicrafts etc. etc.), talk about something of interest (travels, workshops, new ideas etc.). Exhibition prizewinners don't be modest! ....no Show & Tell?.... just come and have some fun! We will be raffling one of Jo Penn's drawings, $3 per ticket. There will be a lucky dip of the entries too!

Everyone is welcome to our meetings held each month on the second Tuesday meeting - $3 for members & $5 for non-members which includes supper & a chance to talk to artist, network with other art minded folk and catching up with Art News from around the district. Contact Narelle for more info on 02 4565 9222."
