March Meeting Announced

      

Art in Every Day Life is the theme for a panel discussion at the Vicksburg Art Association's monthly meeting Tuesday (March 14, 2006) at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Constitution Firehouse, Openwood and Main Streets.

Panel participants will be Jean O'Neil, fashion consultant; Regina Gailani,owner of Art & Soul; and Jeff Richardson, landscape architect for City ofVicksburg. They will be discussing art for the body, home and surroundings and encouraging audience participation to define: Art in Every Day Life. Is it an approach to any aspect of life? A flair with thought and a touch of design without necessarily costing more than the mundane items often found surrounding us? What do you think?

Members and the interested public are invited to bring their questions for the panelists and to bring some of their own examples of Art in Every DayLife: quilting, jewelry, bonsai, kitchenware, woodcraft, etc. - objects which reflect handmade craftsmanship and a strong sense of design.

Participants of 2005-2006 VAA Workshops will show their work created during the workshops.

The event is free and open to the public.
