ART AUCTION & RECEPTION

We have received some really exciting, beautiful, and whimsical artwork, done with the costume jewelry donated at the Mad Hatter Tea and Fashion Show.  Thank you, so much, to all the artists who have participated!

On September 7, 2012, these fantastic art pieces can be viewed at the Cultural Arts Center, from 10am-3pm.  That evening, from 7pm-9pm, we will be holding a reception, at the CAC, for these artists and an auction of their work.  Please come and join us!

WE STILL HAVE COSTUME JEWELRY

As most of you know, we at the Franklin County Arts Alliance held a Mad Hatter Tea and Fashion Show, May 3, 2012.  We asked that attendees bring any unwanted jewelry as a donation for entrance.  We exchanged the gold and silver, but we also received some great costume jewelry.

This is where those of you with a creative mind come in.  We would like to have any artists interested (It is not required that you be a member of FCAA.) come to the Cultural Arts Center today, August 10, 2012, or next Friday, August 17, 2012, between 10:00am and 3:00pm, to look through the costume jewelry.  You would then use it in a piece/pieces of original artwork.  Our one stipulation is that your artwork must be donated to the FCAA for sale at a fundraising auction.  Any artwork you create will be due back at the Cultural Arts Center by August 24, 2012, between 10:00am and 3:00pm.

On September 7, 2012, we will be holding a Wine & Cheese Reception with both a Silent Auction and a Live Auction of this artwork as a continuation of our Mad Hatter Tea fundraising efforts.

So be zany, be creative, have fun!   Come and join us!

HEALING THROUGH THE ARTS

The Franklin County Arts Alliance presents our new Healing Through the Arts program.  The arts have proven to be an effective way to facilitate healing, whether through painting, writing, music, cooking, or countless other art forms.  Our Fall Session begins Friday, August 31, 2012 from 10:00am to 12:00pm, at the Cultural Arts Center.  This free opportunity will continue each Friday in the month of September, and the final class will be October 5, 2012.

William Shakespeare once said, "Give sorrow words."  With that in mind, for the first two Fridays, we will be focusing, primarily, on a Creative Healing Journal.  Some supplies will be provided by the FCAA.  You can bring your own journal, or we can provide you with a Composition Book or 1-Subject Spiral.  The first class day you might also bring: shoe boxes, magazines, scraps of paper, lace, and ribbon, to be used throughout the six week session. 

If you have any questions or wish to let us know you will be joining us, give us a call at (903) 434-9130 or shoot an email to franklincountyarts@gmail.com.  And remember:  The Arts are good for the soul.
