Artist Day Out | |
July 18
Aug 8

VADO is a day where members may come paint at the CVA from 9:15 - 3, approximately two mornings a month. There is no instructor, it is not a workshop... just an art gathering. You may paint, sketch, quilt, or whatever creative endeavor you desire in the fellowship with your artist friends. Lunch and fellowship are the best parts!
The cost is $10 a year, or $1 a session if you just want to drop in every now and then. Pay with your dues, or you can send $10 to:
Mary Emerson 1001 Emerald Sound Blvd. Oak Point, TX 75068 |
