Art Supply Sale!


This sounds like a great idea and I'm going to comb my studio for stuff I'll never use!.......

As artists we've all done it..bought supplies with an art project in mind and never completed it or in some cases never started it!  

Why let them pile up in your workspace?  
Support Modern Fuel by donating them to the Unfinished Art Sale!  
Bring them anytime Tues-Sat 12-5pm until June 30th.  

Then be sure to attend the sale Saturday July 14 to pick up new items to start another project!  


We are also accepting any unread books, unwatched DVD's that you've never gotten around too as well!

NOTE...
Also for the August Roundtable workshop, August 7th, 11am, Modern Fuel Gallery, they can bring pieces of their art they'd like to learn to photograph.

A.R.T June Announcements


At yesterday’s gathering of the Artists Round Table, (6 in attendance around my dining room table) we talked about projects for the coming meetings. We can meet at my place as it was successful last Summer and may make one of our homes/studios our meeting places in future, taking turns as anyone who wants to host offers. 

We discussed submitting images for shows/grant/award applications and how they are being done more and more online (Zapplication in the US was the first I used years ago). It was thought a workshop on the process might bring some of us out of the dark ages and update us on the right way to photograph our work for such submissions and for our own web use and archives.
From the Modern Fuel Gallery:
Denise has been able to get the New Media Workspace coordinator, Matt Kyba, to present on our workshop morning 11am Aug 7th at the Modern Fuels Gallery.
A $5 donation per person for his time is recommended.
He will also advertise it as a workshop to encourage new folks to come and maybe join artist roundtable so it could be reciprocal. 


From Cathie Hamilton:

Encaustic Workshop Saturday June 16, 11am-4pm, $70.00
Studio 1 at NGB, 12 Cataraqui St. Kingston, K7K 1Z7
Come on in and explore, share ideas and have some fun.

Materials supplied. 

Please contact cathie@kingston.net to confirm.
