If you are new to the Guild, or if you would like get more involved, we need your help!  The Guild depends heavily on volunteers who do all sorts of jobs, both large and small. Especially  during Festive Home, volunteers help in the galleries during regular weekend hours and when we have a party or opening.  Joan will have a sign up for gallery hours, so call the Guild to sign up.

Festive Canvases

by artist Antonio Munoz
Calling All Guild Members --  Please consider donating a painting towards our Festive Home stencil project. This year's theme honors the local farming communities. The 9"x12"canvases with 3 designs feature a cow, a rooster, and a horse, as well as a blank canvas with a horizon line. This blank canvas is for members who prefer and wish to donate a landscape. Any media is acceptable. Even if you choose a stenciled animal, feel free to paint outside the lines! All of these canvases will be for sale at Festive Home and priced at $50 with 100% of the proceeds going to the Guild. This is a fun and easy way to help the Guild raise the necessary funds that keep our doors open and all the high-quality exhibitions happening.
 
In addition to helping out with this Guild fundraiser, rumor has it, some artist members enjoy working on this project every year because it allows for a 'safe' creative exploration yielding some very interesting results that would not have been possible if they had not participated! So give one or two canvases a try and see what happens. They are available at the Guild during regular business hours.

Deadline for drop off is November 7thThank you for your support! 

For more info on Festive Home 2011, please visit rgoa.org or call the Guild at 203/438-8863.
