Pardon me for repeating myself, but it needs to be done to make sure everyone gets the info about the annual student show and opts in if they want (see updated list and deadlines below).
 
NOTE: If there’s a question mark on the schedule I NEED TO KNOW if you’re planning on coming as class size is limited to 8, but I had to squeeze a 9th in on Thurs. I assume you are not coming if you don’t confirm.
 
APRIL VACATION: I’ll do Tues, Wed and or Thurs 2-4 during April vacation.  I will cancel if I don’t have 4 for a class by the week before. Last time everyone waited until the last minute, and I didn’t have enough room.  If I know ahead, I can make 2 classes on the same day, if necessary.

ANNUAL SHOW UPDATE
I am starting to compile the list of students who will be exhibiting in the show.  If you know you will be participating, let me know as soon as possible, as I can start putting together the postcard and program. If you  know the works you’re going to show, the sooner I have that into, the better. Looking at my calendar, I’ve moved the deadline to commit to April 7.  So let me know if your in.  Here’s the list so far:
Billy
Abby
Millie
Emma
Eve
Olivia
Lilli
Michaela
 
DATES: 
April 7 – Commit to Show
April 14 – Titles and prices or NFS of 2 paintings to exhibit
May 5 – Paintings delivered to me
May 13 – 5:00-7:00 Opening party and silent auction at Bramhall’s Country Store, 2 Sandwich St, Plymouth
Show will run for a month
 
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Any student who has had classes with me over the past year or so is welcome to put 2 new pieces in the show. They need to be framed and ready to hang.  You can get 8.5×11 document frames at the Dollar Store. This is a great way for emerging artists to see their work hanging in a public place. Artists are welcome to put a price on their work, though most chose NFS (Not for sale). I recommend $20- $30 for the kids; Bramhall’s gets 10%.
 
AUCTION: In a few weeks we’ll be making paintings of whales and dolphins to auction off to benefit WDC – Whales & Dolphin Conservation http://us.whales.org. (Last year we raised over $500 for ERDG!)  This is a great way for students to see how they can use their talents to benefit the greater good.  Students don’t have to donate their work, but I encourage it.  Starting bids are $10 per piece (except mine is $50) I take care of the framing. The works will be auctioned off at the opening on May 13.
 
OPENING is Friday, May 13, 5-7:00 at Bramhall’s Country Store, 2 Sandwich St, Plymouth where we have a fun party.  Jim and I provide a bunch of pizzas, and everyone is encouraged to sign up to bring finger foods or kids’ drinks.  I’ll be sending out an email with a sign up list, also posting at the blog where you can sign up in comments. I’ll provide paper plates and such.
 
The show will run about a month, and I’ll send out notice of the pick up date.  Work will be picked up at Bramhall’s at the show’s end.
