Dear Kiawah Art Guild Members,
Happy Spring! We had another highly successful show and sale at town hall on Saturday, April 12, with eleven artists participating (a record). Based on feedback from Guild members, we shortened the hours of the show by two hours in the afternoon and it didn't seem to impact sales. Following the show, several artists reported commissions and follow-up sales based on their participation in this annual event. The Guild appreciates the Town of Kiawah's continue support of our activities and mission.
Also Chris Groves workshop April 14-16 was fully subscribed with terrific response from participants! Good news he'll be back next April too! See more pictures at the end of the newsletter.
As you know, we take a break over the summer and regroup in the fall. We are organizing a great schedule for our next 2025 fall and 2026 winter/spring season. As a reminder annual dues of $50.00 will be due by 8/30/25. A reminder notice will be sent out.
