Artist: Karen Stienstra's painting voted "The Best" for the Show&Sale draw

Foothills Art Club holds a fall and a spring Art Show and Sale, with all members being eligible to take part. 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. We have guest presentations and demonstrations by members throughout the year, in addition to weekend workshops led by professional instructors. At least once a month, we have a ‘theme night’ when member(s) will share a special technique or resource and also a ‘critique corner’ night for members to bring their work for suggestions or feedback.

. . . our 2019 Fall Art Show & Sale will be on
Saturday October 12, 2019
10:am-4:pm
at the St.Andrews United Church
in Cochrane, Ab

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 RiversEdge. As well, the patrons of the arts who come out every year to support our members are greatly appreciated.
