About the Art

"Celebrate Creativity 4" Artists' Inspirational Retreat is the fourth occurCalendar rence of an Artists' Inspirational Retreat. Artists should read all these details

carefully. Visitors/guests/art lovers/would be artists can read for the information they need and should know that they are also very welcome, any or all of the 4 days. Once a year, for the last 4 years (excluding 2011), I have held "Celebrate Creativity" on the first weekend of November. It is a fun-filled time of making new friends, making new art, trying new materials, and soaking up inspiration to last through the winter and revisit during the year whenever we need to. This year "CC4" will be held at the gallery ("Mixed Messages" ART in Sanger) on Saturday and Sunday, November 3 and 4, and at my home on Monday and Tuesday, November 5 and 6. In the past there has been a minimal charge per day or half day to cover food costs etc., but this year I'm going to rely more on you to help me with the food so there will be no cost to come, eat, play, and participate. All are welcome, the more the merrier--artists and art-lovers alike. You can come any or all of the four days and you can stay as long or short a time as you want to or as your schedule allows.
