April 22nd, 2:30pm is our Monthly Peninsula Watermedia Meeting.
This month we have an Attorney from Kaufman and Canoles coming again to talk about the latest in copyright law as it applies to artists and us creative types in general. In the past this has been one of the most attended meetings we have had so if you are planning on coming I'd encourage you to get there a bit early because seating is limited. The attorney will answer questions too so if you have any you want answered, I'd also suggest you write them down so you don't forget to ask.
I don't know if there will be time for show and tell or presentation of the monthly challenge, but feel free to bring what you are working on and if we do have time we will show them.
April's Challenge is: NIGHT MOVES: A Night Scene. Your interpretation, of course.
We will discuss the MEMBER SHOW next month. If you plan to enter you can give me your entry form and fee at the meeting. So far I have not received any in the mail. IF nobody enters, or there are not enough entries we may have to either scrap the show, or just have interested member's put pieces in with no awards. At least we'd have somthing of a show. I'd hate to have to cancel it, because that would leave the Stryker Gallery in a lurch and I doubt we'd ever be invited back....Just saying. It's all up to you though.
Hope to see you Sunday.

PWS Meeting Schedule 2018 (REMAINDER OF THE YEAR)
April 22nd: Nicole H. an Attorney for Kaufman and Canoles. Nicole has presented two previous times to a nearly full audience. Great information about copyright law, and how it affects artists. Write down questions to ask her. She is a wealth of knowledge.
May 20th: Combined HAL/PWS meeting: Gallery Talk (PWS meeting moved from 28th due to Holiday weekend). I may not be there if needed in Williamsburg to put finishing touches on the member show.
June 24th: GOLDEN PAINT COMPANY: Customer Representative Amy returns for another demonstration of the wide variety of paints, mediums, and grounds we all use or want to use.
July 22nd: Meera R. : Meera will be presenting a demonstration of JOURNALING for Artists. Meera is a local artist and travels a lot. She has presented to PWS several years ago on Journaling and everyone thought it was wonderful. Come get your seat early. This is expected to be a well attended demonstration.
August 26th: Christine R. : Christine is a talented local artist and will do a Demonstration of Watercolor Monoprints (if you don’t know what that is...all the more reason to come see it).
September 23rd: Tom D. another talented PWS member who will demonstrate his use of the AIR BRUSH. This promises to be a highly interesting presentation.
