"A Little Something..." members small work show! Remaining artwork still showing in the Peg Bothner Gallery at TCAC through TOMORROW, January 13th!
 
The annual show provides an opportunity for all TCAC members to show off their artistic skills!  Members could submit up to three pieces of artwork under 12" x 12"!  This year, there are more than 175 pieces of artwork and more than 65 artists. Artwork ranges from watercolor, gouache, oil painting, photography pottery, jewelry, sculpture, stained glass, and more. 
 
Now in its fourth year, the TCAC’s small works show features more artists and pieces than ever before, and according to Sean Huntington, exhibition coordinator, this year’s selection is incredible. “Every year, this has grown,” he said. “In the first year, we had approximately 100 pieces, and in the second year, we had 130, last year, we had 150. This year, we have 176 pieces, and the quality is amazing—these artists just keep topping themselves!”

New Moon. New Year. Intention Boards
Image item
Let’s start the year off with connection & creation! Come create your own intention board to envision and manifest how you want this year to be. 

A New Year’s intention board is a powerful way to visualize, create, and manifest all of the things you want to be, do, and have in your life. It’s also a daily reminder of your intentions. But it’s not just a New Year – it will also be a New Moon! This phase of the lunar cycle is for setting intentions and goals because it represents new beginnings. The New Moon on January 11th will peak at 11:57 am, but that energy will still be present 2 days after during this class.
 
**This class will be my usual New Moon Class mixed with arts & crafts. For those of you who haven’t been to one of my Moon Classes: I will talk about the current astrology, offer journal questions to ponder, and open the discussion to connect with each other.
 
Instructor: Sarah Swinko
