2009 is here!

Hello and welcome back everyone! The remainder of 2008 was a busy one for our group. We managed to successfully complete our first online competition, and we enjoyed working with all of the artists who submitted a total of 111 entries! It was a lot of work, but what a great presentation!

We have also changed our monthly receptions at Vito's to an ongoing art exchange. Members can visit Vito's as needed to trade out their artwork or replace work that has been sold, etc. We will still plan to meet on the third Saturday of each month for dinner, dessert, and great company!

We are now enrolling new and renewing members for 2009, so be sure to get your application to Lynne Byers. Information is available from the website at www.georgiaart.net

We will be sponsoring another art critique to be held at our January meeting on the 20th. We really enjoyed this event last year, and we had a great turnout.

Come and join us for any of the events listed on the website, and please contact us if you have any questions. We are always looking to energize and excite new artists, young or old, professional or just beginning. Art is a great way to make connections, and that's what AGNWG is all about!
