Symbolism

As a topic, symbolism generated an interesting discussion, and even more interesting works of art.

Michael Waters started us off with "Mandala."

(Michael and Annette both mentioned a possible series from their pices on this topic... more to come? )

Jim shares his thoughts on line and symbols...

July Meeting

Millville Summerfest

Millville Summerfest

Saturday was the Summerfest & Chili Cook Off in Millville. 3 tents were set up, artists came and painted and fliers were handed out advertising the next meeting of JUMP IN!

Getting Started

On Wednesday, June 24th we had the first meeting of our new Millville group "JUMP IN!"
15 Artists attended and things got off to a great start with Sue Rau leading a discussion of "surviving as an Artist in the current economy."

Our first challenge is to create something inspired by CIRCLES and bring it in to the next meeting to share.

We discussed setting up tents at the Millville Summerfest and decided to give it a try. Our first meeting and our first event!
