August 2019 Meeting

In July, members visited the NC Art Museum and were given a color to find throughout the museum and photograph.  They were then asked to compile the photos—in any way they chose—and bring them to the meeting.  Katherine and Lisa showed off their pieces from the color project. 

Member Challenge #3: Instagram Challenge
Members were to take photos of their art pieces (complete or in progress) and post them to Instagram, using the hashtag #CMMAG2019.  The challenge ran for 1 month.  We have 261 posts and over 15 members participate.  The top three posters, Amy, Deidre, and Peggy, received prizes in the form of gift cards to Jerrys.
