Painting events

We are also waiting for the next phase of health regulations to see if the church hall
will be open to accommodate those artists who want to join together to paint, howbeit with masks and social distancing.
At this point it looks like we may be able to start the fall with a grand re-opening of Foothills Art Club. We can hope! Until then, keep safe and happy and keep painting!
Connect with fellow artists on zoom or phone, and maybe soon it will be in person.

Club Memberships paid for 2019-2020 will be extended to December 2020.
We are asking members to pay $60 to keep our club afloat from January until the end of August 2021.

On another note:
- our Catherine McLay is doing well and living at the Bethany Care Centre.

The Foothills Art Club is proud to have received a grant from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Funds will help us purchase equipment to expand our Show & Sale this fall and next spring.

Over the years the Foothills Art Club has benefited from generous grant donations from the Town of Cochrane, Cochrane Foundation and the Bow Rivers Edge. As well, the patrons of the arts who come out every year to support our members are greatly appreciated.

We have monthly scheduled ‘open-studios’ or ‘paintouts’ at the Beaupre Hall, west of Cochrane, as well as outside ‘plein-air’ painting sessions during the summer. Guest presenter are sponsored throughout the year.

Weekend long workshops are led by professional instructors. At least once a month, we have a ‘theme night’ when member(s) will share a special technique or resource. Also, a ‘critique corner’ night for members to bring their work for suggestions or feedback. Visit our Education Page.
