The Eagle Valley Brush & Palette Club meets every Friday 10 am to 2pm at the Red Barn. We offer instruction or 'playtime' as Miss Betty calls it. You can join the group ($50/yr includes the required Eagle Valley Arts Council membership) or try us out by dropping in ($5 per drop in) when you are able. Due to current covid rules and restrictions we have to limit our numbers inside the Red Barn as the tables are placed for social distancing. This means members will take priority over drop-in painters as long as we are still under these distancing rules. Thank you for your understanding (Drop-ins are limited to 2x per year and then you will be given a $6 credit towards a yearly membership should you continue to join us on Fridays).

Greetings Artists!
Sadly, EVAC has advised that the Art Barn is shut down again! Under the COVID circuit breaker, we will be down until April 19 or until further notice. We will bump our workshops forward when we start up again.
We will still proceed with the picture exchange at Parkland Mall on Friday April 2, between 9 and 10 am. Carol and Norman will be there to greet you as usual. Masks still required.
Reminder to send in your contribution to the Advertising Poster by April 23rd. Early is better!
Wishing all our April Birthday People a happy one with a virtual cake!!: Carol Southgate, Susan Miller and Terry Sinton HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
Happy creating and keep painting on Fridays!! It's your day!
