Your Board had a very fruitful all day retreat on August 27 to guide the Guild to better serve your needs! Many ideas are already implemented!

Starting in October Tuesday afternoons will be dedicated to instructor facilitated sessions in the Topaz Room. These sessions will be for students who have completed a beginner class in the medium and want to improve their skills. Students will work on their own projects and will need their own supplies. The coach will be there to guide you when you need assistance. The first Tuesday of each month will be for oil painting, the second Tuesday will be for watercolor and the third Tuesday will feature pastel . Drawing will be added on the fourth Tuesday when an instructor becomes available. You will need to pre register on the website and pay a $10 fee for each session.

Another idea was for the president to send an email each month to fill you in on all the happenings coming up! We have a full fall schedule of classes starting this fall

Member spotlight on Kathrine Evans

Published On 3/28/2024

One of the newest members to SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild is Katherine Evans. Evans and her husband found SaddleBrooke in the way that many do. They were traveling all over, looking for places to consider retiring in. They visited some friends that were already here, came over the ridge on SaddleBrooke Blvd., saw the mountains, and the rest was history! Along with the views, they loved the golf courses, the activities available, and they felt that the people in the community were very welcoming.
Recently retiring in June, and arriving to SaddleBrooke in September 2023, Katherine has already joined a couple of local clubs, one being the “Knit Wits”, a group which knits baby blankets for foster kids. She also discovered the Art Guild, and has enjoyed participating in the Art Salon discussions, and attending the general meetings, as well.
