Holiday boutique show was a success!

Dec 2nd and 3rd 2011 proved to be an energetic, festive and successful event for the Village Artists.
 The members were encouraged to see so many folks from Homewood come out and stop by the gallery.  We especially loved seeing all the kids and a few of them are now taking art classes.  The tree lighting ceremony at the park down the street put everyone in a great mood.

The potters had a fantastic turn out of friends and relatives.  We especially appreciated a visit from the Mayor of Homewood!

Pottery, jewelry, hand-cut tree decorations, paintings, purses and stained glass were purchased by our patrons to give as holiday gifts. A few holiday cookies and snacks were consumed and many a jolly conversation was had by our art lovers.

The members would like to say a sincere Thank You to all those in attendance and for supporting the Village Artists!

Holiday Boutique at the Village Artists Gallery and Studio

The holiday boutique is just a few days away.  The members have spent the last week getting the gallery ready.  Pottery, paintings, purses, jewelry, vintage boxes, handmade decorated trees and stained glass are just a few of our items.  Stop by for a snack and check us out.

Construction of Homewood store front

Hello Members and Patrons

The Village Artists gallery and studio space on Ridge Rd in Homewood, IL -
We are moving right along during construction.  Our next meeting is Monday, Feb 28th 2011. 

Hopefully, in the near future we will be having a painting party and a big group effort to rearrange all our belongs.  I know you will agree it is time to finally CREATE ART in our new space! 
We have been warmly welcomed by the mayor, town residents and our "neighbors" of Ridge Rd stores. 

Three wonderful ladies have been repainting our sign to hang on the outside facade.
Thanks to Sally, Anne, and Sharon for your hard work.
It is also time for election of new officers,  nominations and decisions to be made shortly. 
Spring is almost here and we hope to have a Grand Opening in our new space. 
April 29th is a date being looked at.

Attend the meeting, give your input, welcome spring and let's be creative!
