Happy 34th Birthday, PAPA! Congrats, to each of you, as we continue to uphold the standards set forward by our founder, Clyde Lawter, and his first group. These ideals Include, encouraging artists, educating in artistic techniques, having a place to show and sell our work, and an opportunity to socialize with other artists.
PAPA has been invited by the City of Paducah, to have a Summer Show, at City Hall! We said, YES! Bring your painting to the Gallery, by May 27th…May meeting. Cindy has a QR Code, so we will have an Online Store! Hanging the show, will be done on May 30th and opening June 2nd. To celebrate, we will have “ Meet Our Artists Reception”, Thursday, June 5th, 5:00-7:00. Exhibiting and Non-Exhibiting Members are asked to participate…isn’t this great?
