Congrats to Tania Nault

Tania Nault is one of our most active volunteers each year at Reflections. She basically doesn't stop working from the time she arrives until the show is over. Tania will be at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park down in the south-west corner of the province - so if you are in that area be sure to see her.

Super exciting - we are having an art sale - let me know if you want to participate by emailing me at campbell.beth@gmail.com

If you can't participate - I hope that you can make it out to see this wonderful new facility just south of Saskatoon. Help us spread the word.

We had a great time at Bob Lavender's workshop held in the studio at Paul Perron's acreage. Proceeds of the class will help put on The Reflections of Nature Show in October.

June Art Show & Sale and Annual Picnic

We have arranged to have a June Art Sale:

Friday, June 9 (evening tentative hours 6 - 9 pm)

Saturday, June 10 (tentative hours 10 am - 4 pm) 

It will be at the Crossmount Art Barn which is 5.8 km south of the German Concordia Club on Hwy 219 (straight out Lorne Ave). 

http://theglenatcrossmount.ca/facility/arts-barn/

Details are still being worked out, but we thought that we should let the members know of this opportunity so that they can start planning.  

The cost to members who participate is still being determined - all sales are directly to them with no commissions. If we can get enough interest we are hoping to keep the cost per artist down to $35.  

Let me know if you are interested in participating.

Email: campbell.beth@gmail.com

Out-of-town members could stay in Saskatoon for the weekend to be at the sale and at the picnic. Will be a great weekend!
