YAG Artists Share Hope!

Be Radiant! Be Inspired!

"BE HAPPY IN THE MOMENT, THAT'S ENOUGH.

EACH MOMENT IS ALL WE NEED, NOT MORE."

~ Mother Teresa

May these examples and opportunities strengthen

our faith and connect with the community

through our artistic endeavors...

Joan Shostak has been a member of YAG since 1986

Joan inspires us as we celebrate her birthday each golden year. She is soon to be 93 years young, on September 23rd and is bright and quite lively!

YAG Was Founded in 1980

The Yarmouth Art Guild was founded by Eleanor Ferri Jones, an accomplished artist who painted actively until her death in April 2008. From the original 25 members, the Guild today has grown to more than 125 members. Through the years our founding principle has never wavered from providing our members and the community with opportunities for art expression, education and creation.

Jo an has served on the Executive Board of Directors as Community Liaison. She is also Chairwoman of the Educational Foundation of Dennis/Yarmouth. That Foundation has supported our many efforts especially offering grants toward our yearly Student April Art Classes, for which we are most grateful!

When we spoke to Joan recently she said, " We all share a common interest in doing our artwork. I hope we continue to find the time to learn, share and grow. I love doing my collages and just finished six abstract designs. I'm amazed that although I use the same materials (some just scraps and feathers) they all look very different. I love my Japanese designed pieces. I often give them to people as as a thank you token of appreciation."

Joan has recently donated funds for our "on-line" art sales adventure.

We are blessed by her example of fortitude, courage, generosity and kindness. We offer our sincere thanks to Joanie for her continued support and fine example. ~ Joan Johnson

Joyful Memories

T o all who knew her, Carol was a unique, loving and remarkably talented individual. She was passionate from her artwork, to her love of nature and family. Her artwork evolved over the years from different medias to different subjects. Pen and ink drawings, watercolors, acrylics to oil all showing her own creativity. Still life, nature including flowers and beach scenes were included in her work.

She was a member of many art associations. As a YAG member, Carol served as the art display contact coordinator at the Cape Cod 5 bank.

Carol Livingston, of Yarmouth, passed away on June 8, 2020 .

FOR REFLECTON . . .

Every minute someone leaves this world behind.

We are all in “the line” without really realizing it.

We never know how many people are before us.

We can not move to the back of the line.

We can not step out of the line.

We can not avoid the line.

So while we wait in line ....

Make moments count.

Make priorities.

Make the time.

Make your gifts known.

Make a nobody feel like a somebody.

Make your voice heard.

Make the small things big.

Make someone smile.

Make the change.

Make love.

Make up.

Make peace.

Make sure to have no regrets.

Make sure you are ready.

Make sure you forgive.

Make sure you help others.

Make sure you are mindful.

Make sure your compassion is bigger than your ego.

Make sure you live a happy and fulfilling life.

Love more ❤ Give more❤
