Welcome to 2026!
If you are in Sydney or London, you might celebrate with a spectacular fireworks show. In Spain or Mexico, you would eat 12 grapes at midnight for 12 months of good luck. The Irish bang pots and pans to scare off bad spirits. In Japan, you might eat a long noodle for longevity. If you are in the US, you probably watch the ball drop in NYC. The way we celebrate might not be the same, but the sentiment is universal; each of us is embarking on a new year. The new year brings with it the opportunity to mend relationships, capture moments with the ones we love, celebrate friendships, and do better with the knowledge from the year before.
At the Art Docent, we are in full swing! Print presentations have already started for January. This might be the 1st year since I’ve been a docent that we have ALL JANUARY CLASSES FILLED before Marsha even got back into the office! Huge thank you to our new docents for jumping in and making your presence known. We are so appreciative to have you on board and I can already see the positive impact you will make on the organization. Thank you for your dedication through training and I look forward to seeing you around the schools.
Next on the horizon is our annual Art Show! The Fisher “museum” will be open April 27-May 1, a bit earlier this year than last. Look for setup in the office and initial meetings to start in February. We’ve also got some great Continuing Education events coming up with movie nights, yoga/art retreat in Santa Cruz, and museum visits. Let’s keep the energy ramped up for workshops, remembering that the scheduling takes us all the way to the very end of the school year.
