MEETINGS & DEMONSTRATIONS

After the summer break, our next regular monthly meeting will be September 17, 2019 at the Richardson Public Library basement meeting room. The September Demo Artist will be Sheliah Lonian. Sheliah will demonstrate her technique in Colored Pencil. The Meetings begins at 6:30 p.m.

Sheliah says "I have drawn as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are drawing on a chalk board and nothing was better then getting a big new box of Crayola Crayons.

Bear Hug by Sheliah Lonian

I have had a life-long passion of learning and have taken numerous classes in art in several mediums and styles while trying to create my own individual style.

Goldie by Sheliah Lonian

After workin many years primarily in medical management, I was able to retire to begin the career my heart longed for.

I work in colored pencil, acrylic, graphite and watercolor. I focus primarily on animals while sometimes working with flowers and still life.

Gardenia by Sheliah Lonian

I have been blessed and very honored to have won numerous awards in my career as an artist.

I currently have artwork displayed at the Wylie Fine Art Gallery in Wylie, Texas."

We have several Art Shows each season.

It all starts with our Membership Show in the Fall. Those members wanting to display their 2D work and compete for prizes are eligible to enter. Paintings hang in the 3rd Floor Gallery of the Richardson Public Library. A judge will select winning entries and awards which are handed out at the monthly meeting. The prospectus explains rules and guidelines for hanging. Most work is for sale and is a great opportunity to purchase local art.

In the Winter, our Young People’s Scholarship Show hangs in the 3rd Floor Gallery with representation from our talented Richardson high school students competing for cash awards.

Following the Young People’s Show is the Rosemary Cheney Memorial Art Show. This showcases the RISD Elementary students. Forty-one schools send their best art to be displayed in the Library’s 3rd Floor Gallery, with the show traveling to the RISD Professional Building for more viewing by the public.

The Spring Show gives artists a chance to display and compete for prize money and awards. This show is open to any 2D artists in the surrounding communities who are over the age of 18. Sales of the artwork are encouraged. This is a great venue to purchase art pieces locally. The monthly meeting after the show hangs will present awards and prizes chosen by our judge. See the prospectus for rules and guidelines.

Our premier show is the Regional Juried Art Exhibition which is displayed at the Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts. This juried show is open to qualified amateur and professional Texas artists. Prize awards totaling over $6900.00 in cash and merchandise are presented at a reception honoring entrants and their families and friends. Refreshments and music are part of the festivities. Sales of the artwork are encouraged by patrons.

Our final show is a casual display of any artwork that members wish to hang in the 3rd Floor Gallery during the summer months. We call this our Simply Summer Show and Sale.

See below for details about any of our shows. To see photos from previous shows, go to the Archives page.
