 Hello fellow Florida Craftsmen,

During our first meeting in November, those in attendance expressed an interest in a possible gallery space and PoP-Up exhibitions on this coast for Area 8 FC members.   As per my previous email on Feb. 17th, we were given an opportunity to exhibit at no charge for a brief period at the Bienes Center for the Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, during a performance by the MUSE dance company.  This opportunity was made possible through Florida Craftsmen member and former Area 8 director Kevin Kichar.  Six members responded to this invitation to be a part of the “First Area 8 Pop-Up Series” and helped organizeand set up the exhibit. The work was on display at the center from March 8-March 19th and was well received by the Bienes Center..

If anyone in Palm Beach County or north would like to help out as co-director please let me and/or Diane Shelly know.

I hope I can count on your support by attending meetings and working together to plan and coordinate events that will help build a fine crafts organization in South Florida that is of the same caliber as the parent organization in St. Pete.

Our next meeting will be: Thursday, April 12th from 6:30-8-30pm.

Location:                        Clay Glass Stone Metal Cooperative Gallery in Lake Worth. –
