CAA July Newsletter is out - next member meeting: August 12, and more...

We have an action-packed July Newsletter, so check it out. Along with timely thoughts about travel sketching from traveling CAA President Catherine Hensiek, and a call for participation in the Concord 4th of July Parade (a 1960s theme, celebrating CAA's 60th anniversary this year!), there are events and dates you don't want to miss, including:

• The CAA Celebrates 60 Years group exhibit opens at the aRt Cottage in Concord, July 5. The open house reception is Saturday, July 8, from 2-4pm. This will be a big show with 80 artworks from more than 30 CAA artists. All are welcome to the reception and snacks will be served. Preview the show here.

• The next CAA member meeting is August 12, and for the first time will be held at beautiful Studio 55 in Martinez. If you haven't had a chance to check out Studio 55, now is an excellent chance to do so. It's the perfect place to make art and that's what we'll be doing between 1-4pm. For members with mobility issues, the installation of an elevator for the second-floor studio will hopefully be complete by August 12. We will keep you posted.

• We will also have a pop-up art and craft sale the next day, August 13, at Studio 55. If you want to participate, apply by July 30th.

• There are more calls for art as well, so don't miss this newsletter.
