The Austin Pastel Society kicks off its 2010-2011 Program year with this ever-popular event, the Revolving Paint-Around. Watch five of your fellow members tackle a painting in rotation begun by another member; then, when the masterpieces are completed, bid at a silent auction on the piece of your choice.

General Meeting - Turner to Monet Exhibit at the Blanton (24 Oct 2010)

Sun, 24 Oct 2010 19:00:00 GMT

We're going on a field trip to the Blanton! We will have a guided tour of the Turner to Monet exhibit, with 40 beautiful oil paintings of some of the world's best Impressionist painters, including Turner, Degas, Manet, Rousseau, Delacroix, and Monet! Cost for this program is $9 per person to cover the tour. We will gather for a brief business meeting and then meet our docent promptly at 3:30 PM. Plan to have dinner afterward at the Blanton Museum cafe or at one of Austin's great downtown restaurants.

The Blanton is handicapped-friendly, and there is ample parking in the area.

Please RSVP to Sue Wiley, as we need at least 10 people to have a docented tour.

General Meeting - Art Garage Sale (24 Apr 2011)

This is the time to do some spring cleaning and get rid of those unwanted but perfectly good art supplies, equipment, books, and other art materials. Bring reasonably clean, happily used items, marked with your name and the price. You take care of the sales, so bring change in case of a cash purchase. What is one man or woman's trash is always another's treasure!
