Our September Meeting
Great Art – Great Information – Great Friends!
Art on the Plaza Retrospective
At our September 18 meeting, Art on the Plaza participants presented their art and shared their experiences in communicating with the public. Overall, the plein air art fair sessions proved to be a rewarding experience for members. Some members had painted views from where they stood, and others painted individual projects. The Pleasant Hill community expressed positive enthusiasm to EBAG artists. Families and children were particularly interactive. EBAG members felt that Art on the Plaza Sundays were great, and they very much enjoyed the camaraderie with fellow members!
Unfamiliar with Art on the Plaza?
Throughout the summer, our Guild demonstrated, exhibited, and “talked” art to a large number of people of all ages in Downtown Pleasant Hill. We made a modest number of sales, attracted some new members, made our Crescent Drive presence known, and even educated curious passersby. Best of all, we were able to get to know each other better. Art on the Plaza was presented each Sunday by EBAG and Downtown Pleasant Hill, and offered a unique, enjoyable, and educative experience for the community.
Other important info from the Meeting:
