ArtsFest Chance to Involve Community

With the Gallery open as usual and featuring the March is Watercolor Month Show, booths at Trade Days, and demonstrations in Central Park, the art league is taking a large role in the Seguin Art Commission’s 2nd Annual ArtsFest on March 30 and 31.

Saturday members Carolyn Pittman, Robin Roberts Walker, and Mary Cannon will run the S.O.A.L. booth at Trade Days and demonstrate mosaics and painting. They will also sell the spring paintings members have been working on for $20 or less to support the Gallery.

In the next booth kids can paint a fantasy drawn by Terrie Leyton 9 AM-noon and real or imaginary birds 1-3 PM. All over Central Park kids and adults may also get hands-on experience in the demonstrations by members Roger Betschler (clay work), Donna Maske (spinning wool into thread, jewelry making), and Elizabeth Montgomery (weaving). Elizabeth also has her hand-woven hapi coat in the silent auction at the Texas Theater.

Participants may sell their own work, and participation is free and well-publicized. Click here or email arts@seguinarts.com for more information and the form you need to enter.

An Evening of Jazz and Art supporting the Bird sculpture project for Walnut Springs Park will be held Saturday from 7 to 10 PM at the Texas Theatre. The evening will feature live jazz, silent and live art auctions, and unveiling of the bird sculptures that members Marika Bordes, Howard Crunk, and Roger Betschler have been working on. The event can use some volunteers. Please contact Gene Ann Herrin at mailto:gaherrin@swbell.net.
