Milwaukee Sketch Club plans to exhibit at Art Bar 6/23-7/20/2017

 Hello all, getting ready for Sept 6 start of season.  I've scheduled a
show June 23 to July 20  2017 at the Art Bar.  I know some people had
damaged frames and other bar storage issues, but it was our best ever
venue for sales and we're wanted back.  See you all in September.  Art

7/24/16
Greetings, I picked up my paintings today, hope all of you have done
so already.  Congratulations to all of you who sold work.  This was
probably our all time best venue for selling art, perhaps  they'll
have us back soon.  Art

Milwaukee Sketch Club Indoor Sketching Fees increasing to $95

From: Thomas Piedt <piedt1@yahoo.com>

Hi All

I  hope  everyone has  had an enjoyable summer season, and this email finds everyone in good spirits and ready for the start of sketch September 6th.

As some of the members might know Art and I have been considering raising club dues so we can be competitive in paying  the  models as well as the artists providing demonstrations.

Club dues will increase to $95.00 this year.  Over 34 sessions during the season, the cost to members will  be $2.80 a session.

If the increase in dues results  in a hardship for some, please see Art or myself and we can work something out.

I'm looking forward  to seeing everyone in a couple weeks.

Tom
