​Hello wonderful Foothills Art Club Artists!
We are so happy to announce that we are going to have an Art Show and Sale  on April 22! It has been decided to hold it in the St. Andrew’s United Church Hall as it is central and accessible. 
Note that we are planning on setting up the day of the show, so will need many hands to get this accomplished. We are just using the Church Hall this  year,  so some of the requirements have changed.  Check your email for the Show&Sale Document. 

So… paint with all your heart, and get ready for the first show in 3 years!
We’ll see you at the General Members Meeting on March 29th.
Happy Painting
Gwen

We received  news that long time FAC member, Janette Whittle passed away January 31.

Janette was a very long time member of our community and was very supportive of the Foothills Art Club.  She was always keen to see what everyone was working on and had lots of great comments and suggestions.  I think that we will all miss her.

​Weekend long workshops are led by professional instructors. 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.
