Happenings at the Guild
Event dates: June 29 - July 3, 2012
Deadline is June 15th
Each year the Gallery hosts Art in Bloom, an event where floral arrangements are paired with pieces of artwork in the Gallery. This year, the Guild is looking for individuals who enjoy arranging flowers to participate. The NC3 - Natural Connections x3 exhibition in the Main Gallery will be showcasing ceramic sculpture, works on paper, and photographs. All of the artists' work in this show is inspired by the natural world, making it a great match for Art in Bloom.
Interested decorators should email Juliane Shibata, the Gallery Coordinator, by June 15. Then, they may visit the exhibition on Wednesday, June 27th from 10am - 5pm to select an artwork that they'd like to base their floral arrangement on. Those who come early to the gallery will have their first pick of artwork(s)!
The completed arrangements should arrive no later than 2pm on Friday, June 29th. All decorators are welcome to attend the opening reception that same evening from 7:00-9:00pm. Please note that the NC3 - Natural Connections x3 artists, Claudia Poser, Dale Vanden Houten, and Cate Vermeland, will be giving a gallery talk from 7:00-7:30pm.
Decorators will be able to take home their arrangements on Friday, July 6th.
If you have further questions about this event, please contact Juliane Shibata at juliane@northfieldartsguild.org.

A letter from Ann Mosey, Executive Director
The Arts Guild is proud that its Members and granting agencies help us provide scholarships to many of our students. We are also grateful for the partnership with the Community Action Center in sharing scholarships.
Like many organizations dependent on external support in these challenging economic times, the Arts Guild needed to re-design its scholarship program.
Beginning January 1, 2012 Arts Guild scholarships will be offered through an application form available in the office. The Family Size/Income Levels used to calculate a student's need have been updated, using the same formula as the Community Action Center.
Further, the Arts Guild scholarship will have a maximum of 40% tuition coverage, not including the cost of materials or other class supplies. The scholarship is valid for one class per semester. Students need to re-apply each semester.
Thank you for being a part of our class programming. We look forward to seeing you in the upcoming months.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate contacting me.
Best regards,
Ann Mosey
Executive Director
