How Much Do You Know About Your Community?

How much do you know about your community? You may know where buildings and business are but do you really know what they do?

This week I was attending the weekly Rotary luncheon. We have a guest speaker each week about different topics. This week we had a representative from the Coral Springs Museum of Art. Now for years I have known where it is but never took the time to see what they were all about. I was surprised at all the activities they offer.

After the meeting we were all given the October monthly calendar of events.

First of all, the fall exhibition now through December 11, 2010 presents artwork of Yves de Saint-Front, The Kaufman Collection, Collector's Corner, Antique Pencil Sharpeners Private Collection, Jim Rennert, Michael Kahn and Nicholas Berger,courtesy of Cavalier Galleries.

There are art classes for Adults, Children & Teens. The Children and Teen Classes explor sculpture, drawering, art samplers, comic book design and the list goes on. For Adult & Teen classes include open studio figure drawing, fun with faces, drawing and painting the figure, tech of drawing, wheel techniques for clay, watercolors and again the list goes on.

Family Funday, October 9th at 3 pm, Paper People, taking beautiful paper and images from magazines to create people and landscapes. A collage is when you cut and glue papers to create unusual artworks.

Talk about getting creative what a way to relief stress and relax a little, wheather you go by yourself or make it a family event.

The month end with a Pumpkin Painting for Halloween Friday Oct 29th.

There is some much more to discover and I would encourage anyone in and around the Coral Springs area to take a look at the Coral Springs Museum of Art website.
