Last Meeting - David Balm:
David is the President of the Hutt Arts Society. He was a former cartographer before he retired to take on this responsibility. Not to be confused with the Dowse Art Museum, the Society engages with 200 recreational artists and function most days of the week.
He is totally engaged with the Society, attending 4 of the many Classes a week in different forms of art. The two exhibition galleries opened to the public between 10am and 4pm that display work. It changes fortnightly and there is a waiting list of nearly 2 years!
The Society caters for almost everyone, so go and visit someday if you haven't. If you would like to know more, click HERE for a 10-minute video.
Week's Parting Thought:
"Art is essentially simple and an expression of emotion. The first duty of an artist is to find beauty in everyday life, to express this for the benefit of all mankind, which is the basis of all art." ~ Rita Angus
Please study and plan ahead, especially if you are on duty to write a Bulletin Contribution. A reminder that it's also your responsibility to find a replacement if you are unable to fulfill your duty.
