Hello Everyone!
LET”S PARTY!!!
If you are not familiar with Renoir’s “The Luncheon of the Boating Party,” it is a painting that he did of some of his friends, fellow impressionist artists and their models. Let’s do the same thing and come to the gallery to talk about art, share food, wine/beer and a good time. We hope to see all of our members and their spouses there.
General Member Mixer
On April 15, from 6 to 8:00pm NBAL will be hosting our annual member gathering (potluck) at the gallery.
Laraine Romine will be bringing her delicious pork loin as our main meat dish. If pork is not for you, then please feel free to bring another meat to share.
Attending members are asked to bring side dishes and desserts.
This year we are also providing wine and beer; but, if you would like to bring drinks from home, then please do. Please keep in mind that everyone who is drinking should drink responsibly.
Activities:
Book Sale – Myra Knapp will have a table of our extra art books from the library to sell.
Art Exchange – Bring a small piece of your artwork to exchange with other artists.
Short Film – Vickie Moon Merchant will be presenting an award-winning short film based on her and Kay Kronke Betz’s book “The Story of the Rockport-Fulton Art Colony”. It was awarded the Best Documentary at the Texas short film festival.
Film Clip – Larry Johnson will be showing a video compilation of the Art League's events and shows from 2024. This video was produced to accompany our proposal to the Texas Arts Commission for a grant that was submitted March 1.
Games with Prizes – Gina Eby will have games for us to play with prizes to win.
Lend a Helping Hand
Can you imagine trying to keep up with all of the toilet paper, paper towels, and cleaning products that our organization consumes throughout the year??? That is the tough job that Ralph Nordenhold (Purchasing) does for us. Tuesday and Friday Docents who are asked to restock the bathrooms on their workdays and the Housekeeping Team that are using the cleaning products, or anyone who sees that we are running low, let’s all help him out by writing items that we need onto the shopping list that he keeps on the refrigerator in the kitchen. Thank you, Ralph!
New Braunfels Parks Foundation
The NB Parks Foundation has contacted us again this year for help with their Saengerfest Silent Auction that they hold to raise money for their many projects around town. Please contact Patrick Lackey before April 28 if you want to donate artwork. palackey123@gmail.com
Canyon Lake Art Guild
Congratulations on your beautiful annual show “Lasting Impressions”. We are so happy to share our space with you and consider you to be our brothers and sisters in art.
NBAL members if you live in the Canyon Lake area, then you really should think about becoming a CLAG member also. While talking to their President Shell Fitzpatrick I found out that they have a $25 membership fee and meet monthly, September through May, in the Library at 12 noon with a light lunch, a quick business meeting and then a demonstration. Something else I learned is that they display and sell their artwork in the community at four different locations. Venues include Prosperity Bank in downtown Sattler, Brookshire Brothers Grocery store in Hancock, Tye Preston Memorial Library, and the popular Wildflour North Artisan Grill. Shell says … ALL are welcome, and you do not need to be an artist to be a member of our Art Guild. Come join us!
