Members' Message Board

November 25, 2020

Notice from St. Andrews United Church:
Based on the Alberta Government COVID-19 announcements today, and specifically, “ No indoor social gatherings are permitted in any setting (private homes, public spaces or workplaces).”, we regretfully have made the decision to request that effective today the Foothills Art Club suspend further gatherings in the Church Hall until further notice.

We understand that the Alberta Government will be reviewing the new restrictions in three weeks and we will follow up with you again at that time.

This notice applies to the Beaupre Hall as well for the December 5-6 Paint out. That would have been our final paint opportunity prior to year end. We will let you know when we are able to meet again in the new year.

Take care and Merry Christmas to everyone.

Grants:

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.

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.
