SWAA at the Ex

SWAA will have a booth at the Saskatoon Exhibition's Art Showcase again this year. Members will have the opportunity to display their work - set up is on Monday, August 3. Volunteers are needed to be at the booth to promote SWAA and perhaps demo their art techniques. Contact Beth Campbell (campbell.beth@gmail.com) for more information.

Volunteer Schedule

I came across this and thought that I would pass it on to SWAA members. The Rotary is holding a contest to promote nature; this is what they say:

"Before creating your Contest entry, you must first get outdoors and discover nature in your own community! From your own backyard to your nearest park, you can find plants, animals and beautiful landscapes and sights at every turn that could inspire your Contest entry."

There are categories for Art - Photography - Writing - Video - Music.

The contest is open from May 1 - Nov 1, 2015. 
For ages 19 and under.

SWAA Picnic

We had a great time at the home of Leroy & Rina Royer. It was a bit cool, but had a warm campfire and great company. Some of us stayed later and got to see photos from Gail Bissett's cruise to the Antarctic.


Roxanne Perron took more photos.

SRVAS Banquet

I dragged my husband Doug up to Shekinah for the banquet on Tuesday evening  (those of you who know Doug know that it really is not hard to "drag" him anywhere).  

The food was awesome! Great company! Beautiful scenery! If I had paid more attention prior to this I would have caught on that I could take my paints up and spend the day (or days) doing my own thing and painting.  Would have cut down on the time commitment and the cost since I could stay as long as I had time & money to be there.  

I would like to say that I will do this "next year" - but the future of the school is yet to be decided due to a declining attendance.
