Entry forms and Calls for Entry have been moved to the tab “AQuA Show Information.”  There you will find information about Abstractions, Canyon Voices II and Atrocities, as well as the entry turn in dates for our shows.

Computer guru Adam Cochran will be giving two Photoshop Elements classes in February.  The class cost is $35 per person or you may also take both classes for $60.  Friends and family are invited to take the classes as they are not an AQuA exclusive.  You don’t need to own or have previous experience with Photoshop Elements prior to this class.

The first class will be held February 9th  from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Grand Junction Realtors Building, 2743 Crossroads Boulevard, Grand Junction.  The second class is   scheduled for February 23rd–same time, same place.

This is NOT a hands-on class.  Both classes will be in a lecture format with lots of time for answering questions.  Adam has indicated that he is willing to do even more classes if anyone is interested.  If you wish, you may  bring a laptop to class.  However, if you have computer difficulties or trouble following what he is demonstrating, he will not be able to stop the class to help you.

Adam has set up a site for your convenience in paying for these class(es) with a credit card.  Please note, however, that there is an extra processing fee  to make payment via these links.

• Class 1 – February 9th - click here – $35.00  (extra fee $2.92)

You may also mail your payment directly to Adam at his home address, which will be provided to you via an e-mail.  All class fees must be paid by February 5, 2010.  No payments will be accepted at the door.

Susan’s quilt “The Coup Stick”  recently was accepted into SAQA’s “Stitch. Design. Art.” exhibit at the Old Firehouse Art Center in Longmont and was also selected as one of the images for their postcard.  This show is a regional quilt art exhibit featuring artists from Colorado, Wyoming and Utah and runs from January 8th through February 20, 2010.  Check out their website at:  www.firehouseart.org.

The January 2010 issue of Grand Valley Magazine has an article about Art vs. Craft written by Margaret Allyson in which our own Jean Roesler has been quoted.  Pick up a copy and read what she has to say.
