May Message from Our President
May 12, 2022
Dear Fellow Crooked Creek Art League Members:
Our year has flown by so quickly. We have survived another year of Covid-19 restrictions. As
we break for summer, enjoy your time with family and friends, invite your artist friends and
family to join us for another year of great workshops and speakers. I can’t wait until
September gets here.
Hope you are all planning to attend our final meeting and bring some of your favorite
“potluck" to share. We will be meeting Monday, May 16th, 2022 in the front room at Crook
Creek Park. Social time is roughly 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. During this time, you will enjoy your food
and admire all the beautiful artwork. We will begin our business meeting promptly at 6:00
p.m. We will have all work shared. Then we will allow a short time to view one last time and
vote for the Member’s Choice from our theme.
Debra Kelly has done an amazing job preparing for “Treasures in My Backyard” Member
Contest. Please try to sign up early with Debra so we can be prepared. Please arrive a little
early (4:30 to 4:45) with an easel to display your masterpiece. Debra has some guidelines that
you need to follow to make things easier. Can’t wait to see all the amazing “Backyard
Treasures”.
Hopefully, we will have our board determined so we can announce our leadership. If you want
to be a part and have not been called, please text, email or call me or Alex DiFrancesco. We
are still looking for help in a couple of areas. Our workshops for next year are tentatively set
as follows:
September 2022 Helen Beacham (watercolor)
October 2022 Robert Maniscalco (portraits)
November 2022 Laurie Meyer (oil
February 2023 tbd
March 2023 Casey Klahn (pastels)
April 2023 tbd
May 2023 tbd.
We are working on installing a way to get our new members acclimated to all the
opportunities available through Crooked Creek Art League membership. We will be sharing
more about this Monday and over the summer. Please feel free to ask questions to any of our
members for guidance.
We have had a very successful year with our great speakers at the meetings, amazing
workshops and three exhibitions/shows. A few members have been fortunate to sell some of
their artwork through our exhibits/sales.
Don’t forget to be at our final meeting on May 16th, 2022 at 5:00. Zoom participants plan on
tuning in around 6:00 p.m. I will be writing another letter after our meeting announcing the
Member’s Contest Winners and our new leadership team.
Respectfully,
Kay Fox, President
Crooked Creek Art League
