Barb Wilson has discussed the 2009 calendar for Mainstreet Center with Kelly Kuper (Town of Parker).

The following dates and themes can be penciled in on your calendar.   

Themes:

“From Inspiration to Creation”  January 21 to March 25 (pick-up - 8:30 a.m. - noon). Reception January 28 (6:00 - 8:00 p.m.)  Artists are to include the inspiration for their works of art which will be displayed along with each piece; i.e. a photo reference, a written paragraph telling of the inspiration, a poem, another work of art, etc.

“Duets”  March 25 to May 27 (pick-up - 8:30 a.m. - noon). Reception April 1 (6:00 - 8:00 p.m.) Pick a partner, and get creative using the same reference.

No shows during June, July and August.

“Artist’s Choice” September 23 to October 28 (pick - up - 8:30 a.m. - noon). Reception September 30 (6:00 - 8:00 p.m.)

“Miniature Show” October 28 to December 16 (pick-up - 8:30 a.m. - noon). Reception November 4 (6:00 - 8:00 p.m.) Maximum dimensions including frame 10 in. x 10 inches.

• There will be no “Images of Parker” show in 2009.
• Starting in 2010 there will probably be some changes since the Town of Parker wants to make the Mainstreet Center more profitable.  This probably means we will have fewer shows and/or our shows will be up for one month instead of two.

Receptions for the following shows are scheduled for the dates indicated below. All will be held from 06:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Please contact Barb Wilson if you can help the Mainstreet Gallery Committee organize and set-up these receptions.

Wednesday, January 28; “From Inspiration to Creation.”

Wednesday, April 1; “Duets.”

Wednesday, September 30; “Artist’s Choice.”

Wednesday, November 4; “Miniature Show.”
