July meeting

We are having another meeting on July 27th at 6pm at the Waverly Cafe.
We need to start planning Autumn Blaze. There is a lot to do and we need
everyone that can help to do so.

Check back here later and we will have some of the information up for you. We need to get Autumn Blaze back on track and it will take a lot of work. All of the artists in the county need to join together to create a beautiful artisan collection.

Humphreys County has a tremendous amount of talent. We need to showcase ALL of the talent here so everyone can enjoy it. If you know someone who has an artistic talent, let us know. This is for ALL of the arts.

Together, we can create one of the best artisan communities in the state.

This is just a few of the beautiful artworks that were drawn Saturday at "Art on the Square."

All ages participated. These were done in chalk, on the pavement and in the hot sun. We have a lot of serious artists in Humphreys County.

Thank you to all who came out and shared their talents with us.

We had 8 artists and vendors with us also. Thank you to them for being a part of our festival. We hope next year we will have more artists and crafters around the square along with our chalk artists.

Thank you to the volunteers who make this possible every year.

Art Council happenings

We had seven members at the meeting on July 14.
Susan Eaton is working on the grant for the Woods and Strings performances.

John Miano had some rough drafts for our logo. We need a logo for the Art Council. It will be used for anything to do with the council. If you would like to work something up, that would be great. Bring it to the next meeting and we will look at all of them and pick one to use for the council. Use your imagination and create something that will represent our artists.

We will have a table at the Bi Centennial celebration on October 17. If you would like to bring a couple of pieces to display that would be wonderful. Some of you don't want to set up and sell. That is fine. We need the artists of the county represented that day. Please let me know if you want to participate in the display. We need volunteers to sit at the table for 2 hour intervals. Please put your name on this list.

If you want to set up and sell, you need to fill out a form, pay a $20 booth fee and get it turned in by Sept.1. Forms are at the Chamber of Commerce office or I can email it to you. Turn them in at the Chamber office or to me at the next meeting.

Humphreys County 200th Birthday

Humphreys County is having a Birthday Celebration on October 17, 2009.
