Summer Camp Goes Wild
SUMMER CAMP EXTENDED!
Our summer camps have skyrocketed to the stars in popularity so we've added an additional week!
EXPRESS YOURSELF AGAIN! (August 10 - 14)
This workshop will continue with Phil Smith in the morning session (10am-12pm) that will include poetry and visual art. Kim Hanna will teach the afternoon session (1-3pm), which will include working with clay.
The week will include a variety of mediums and art on different surfaces. Returning campers will build on skills already learned and further discover their natural tendencies. NEW campers are also invited to join in this week as all projects will be fresh and exciting.

Exhibit Opening: Sat, Aug 15, 1 - 3pm
The Guild will host an Opening in the Upstairs Gallery and Studio. On exhibit will be the fantastic creations of our summer campers. All are invited to share in this delightful afternoon of visual treats created by our young artists.

Upstairs Gallery
RGA's Upstairs Gallery has been the site for three member artists exhibitions this spring and summer. Paola Lazzaro, Mary Louise O'Connell and Sara Conklin each had a month-long, one-person show, which brought in many gallery goers. All three artists reported that their openings were well attended.
The Upstairs Gallery provides a reasonably priced venue for emerging member artists to show their art. Call the Guild or more information if you are interested.
Upstairs Gallery exhibit schedule:
Rachel Volpone: Sept 15 - Oct 14
Herm Freeman: Oct 15 - Nov 14
