Announcements: An elder law firm in Los Gatos, invites "local" artists to exhibit their work in our offices for 3 months a year and then is given a very nice reception. In November we are planning a special 3-month hanging and reception for accomplished artists who have portraits of seniors. Significant publicity will be provided for this reception event and we anticipate a lot of people since there will be 5 to 7 artists featured. Each artist may contribute 1 to 3 paintings/drawings and they must be gallery-framed with the exception of gallery-mounted canvas. Please have club members interested contact Diann at diannklink@gmail.com. All artists must commit to the hanging of their art for 3 months; this last quarter will be October through December with the official setup of the artwork in our offices on Saturday, September 29.
