Phone: (905) 934-1261
Please send any general inquiries to info@stcatharinesart.com.
Exhibit #2 will begin on July 1, 2018
A big thank you goes out to all of the artists whose paintings were selected (gradually) into the first Art at Roma exhibit, which will be brought to a close on June 30th.
To ensure a seamless transition between the current exhibition and the next one, which will run from July 1st to September 30th, please start sending in your submissions now to events@stcatharinesart.com. As before, please submit up to 3 images, which are between 3' and 5' in any direction, or both. If you have visited Club Roma to see the current exhibit, you can see that the larger the painting/photograph, the better.
Since this is the height of wedding season at Club Roma, for this exhibit we are asking that you submit paintings/photographs that complement weddings such as florals, landscapes, summertime, etc. As well, any Italian-themed paintings are especially liked by Club Roma.
The deadline for submissions for Exhibit #2 is Friday, June 15, 2018.
Art Challenge at the Monthly Meetings
As with the March and April Art Challenges, we will continue to showcase the paintings that are brought in at each meeting, take photos of them, and set up a gallery of submissions for each Monthly Art Challenge on the SCAA website.
This month's Art Challenge is Blossom Parade. Help us to continue this time-honoured tradition since the earliest days of the SCAA and bring a piece of art to the meeting on May 22nd that you feel would meet this challenge.
Looking forward to seeing what you have been working on!
Coming in June...
Don't miss the last meeting of the year! We will have lots planned, including:
 The 2nd Annual Art Marketplace Trunk Sale and Exchange
Last year we held our first ever Art Marketplace Trunk Sale and Exchange in the parking lot ahead of the June 2017 members meeting. For the few members who were part of this first Marketplace, it was a resounding success! There were small and large sales, as well as exchanges and giveaways.
The 2nd Annual Art Marketplace Trunk Sale and Exchange will be held ahead of this year's final meeting on Tuesday, June 26, 2018. Fill your trunk with art-related items you would like to sell or give away, and show up at the Legion Hall parking lot by 5:30 pm, and will run until 6:30 pm, when the doors will open for the meeting.
 Membership Renewal
Membership ends on June 30th and can be renewed by e-transfer to business@stcatharinesart.com or by mailing in a cheque. Please include any changes to your contact information.
You can also bring your membership renewal to the Legion Hall during The Art Marketplace Trunk Sale and Exchange, starting at 5:30 pm, ahead of the June Members Meeting on Tues. June 26th, 2018. We will accept cash or cheque. Membership renewal at this meeting will close at 6:30 pm.
 The Annual General Meeting and Year-End Party
The Board will present a brief report of all that happened in the SCAA this year while you enjoy sandwiches and treats.
 Volunteer Sign-Up in place of Elections
Yeah! This is what you have all been waiting for! A chance to step forward and take on one of the many volunteer opportunities that keep the SCAA one of the most vibrant art organizations in Ontario. You can get a sneak peek of the sign-up lists at the May Members Meeting.
 Member Show and Tell
Instead of an Art Challenge at the June meeting, bring in one of your favourite pieces to share with fellow members. Please plan to keep your presentation to 2 minutes to allow time for everyone.
