Past month of May joined Meeting of KS & MO

Last month with Mary Elmusa (Kansas State Rep) we had a meeting at the Kansas City Art Inst in Kansas City, Missouri.  Here are some photos of those who attended this event along with some food and the SDA Swatch book from all over the states.  So many beautiful fabrics and news of what our members are doing.  We had KCAI students show us around the new Fiber Dept building, that seemed just as much fun for them as for us.  It is called the Warehouse!

Kansas & Missouri SDA member's Meeting

THE KANSAS & MISSOURI SDA MEMBER'S MEETING:

You are invited to a Missouri- Kansas SDA Member Meeting...

Please come join in the fun!

 When & where....

On Sunday, April 7, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., we are getting together to meet & visit at the Kansas City Art Institute Fiber Department Building, a newly renovated warehouse space located at 4218 Walnut, Kansas City, MO 64111. Come see the new studio space and gallery and co-mingle with your fellow SDA members.  

On the agenda will be a casual information presentation about the upcoming conference in San Antonio, a hands-on viewing of the member swatch collection, and time to meet and share your work with others.  

Please feel free to bring an interested friend who may be thinking of joining SDA. It would be great if everyone could bring a finger-food style appetizer or dessert. Water, plates and napkins will be provided. It will be a great time to connect with other creative people with similar interests; also if you are considering the conference you may find someone to share accommodations, rides, etc.  It should be a fun afternoon, well spent!  

Please email Mary Elmusa, KS Rep if you have any questions or suggestions.  Looking forward to seeing you all there! If possible, please bring a sample of your work for intro and sharing session!

Or contact Maryann Hammond, MO Rep ( maryann4art@hotmail.com )

We should have "handouts" about the Conference for you to take home with you...

 "Bug Out", by Maryann Hammond

Tomorrow is Sept 11, 2012 (911) an sad day in American History.  As we remember, I hope that all "Artists" out there will create a new piece of art work to keep on healing and to remember what you did on that day...

I will post later on here what I had started to create tomorrow, & I hope others will join in and submit to me what you started.  There does not need to be a reason why...

Thanks,
Maryann Hammond
