ART NOTES from Hyde House

by Sally Armstrong, Director of artCentra

Mailings have gone out this past week for our annual children’s artCamp, to both our past students as well as our membership. If you are interested in camp for a child, the dates are July 19-31 this year, meeting daily from 10:00-3:00. Additionally this year, a children’s art show will be shown on Sunday the 25th, featuring work by the enrolled students. We will be offering 29 classes again this year, so get those replies back to me as soon as possible so we can see the classes fill and I can purchase supplies for those that do. Last year we had a few classes that were cancelled due to non- enrollment, yet folks called at the last minute wanting a cancelled class! I must know at least two weeks out which classes have adequate enrollment, generally at least 6 students, in order not to disappoint those who sign up on time. I am very pleased with the assortment of classes offered and please know that you may pick up information sheets and enrollment cards at the children’s library and also at the adult information desk in Carthage, or here on our own porch, in the swing will be a basket of these. Call if you would like one mailed to you, 417 358 4404. Mailings are also out to our member-artists, asking for their work for the annual Membership Show, opening June 25th, our next exhibition. This is accompanied by the annual outdoor picnic where we supply the main dishes and guests supply the desserts! All are invited to attend for a small donation. We enjoyed a good crowd last Friday evening at the opening of the current exhibition, TEXTURE, sculpture, pottery, weaving and tapestry by the Jack Sours family. This show will continue this weekend and the following, during regular gallery hours, Friday- Sunday, 12:00-5:00. Come out if you have not already seen this nice work, and enjoy the Sours’ bluegrass music at the annual Acoustic Festival scheduled for the Carthage square June 12th all day and evening. This is a great event!
