August in the Garden
Please join the Lincoln Artists’ Guild on Tuesday, August 3, 6:30 p.m. at the Lincoln Sunken Gardens for an evening of sketching (bring your camera). It is located at 27th and A Street. We will not meet at the LPS building this month.
Afterward, we will car pool to Dairy Queen for ice cream, at 3835 South Street.
On July 5th, the Lincoln Artists’ Guild will have an opportunity to learn how to do “Traditional Artist Journaling.” Carolyn Plants, one of our members, has been teaching art since 1980. She has taught herself Journaling over the last few years, and will share her insights at the July 6 program.
Carolyn received her undergraduate work in Kearney and her masters in Adult Education at UNL. She teaches at Southeast Community College part time.
Please bring a bound book to Journal in; preferably one in which the pages cannot be removed. The Journal can be purchased or a journal that you make for yourself. The pages can be lined or blank. Also bring pencil, ink, watercolors or whatever you prefer recording with.
This should be an interesting and new experience for many.
The July program is on Tuesday, July 6. It was listed in the June 2010 Newsletter as July 5.
Please bring your entries to the State Office Building, 301 Centennial Mall South, between 9:30 – 11:00 am on Monday, May 3rd.

In this event, after judging is completed, please be prepared to pick up additional paintings at 3:30 pm.
Please be prepared to pick up your artwork on May 27th if leaving town for the weekend or by May 28th at 3:30 pm. Artwork cannot remain past that date or time – a fee will be charged for any artwork remaining past 3:00 pm.
