Meeting Location: 10 S. Gilbert Road, 85296 (located just south of downtown Gilbert). We meet in the Neely Room. Please use the parking lot off W. Elliot and enter through the open gate as shown on the map.



Artists of the Month

At each regular monthly meeting, members are invited to bring in a recently completed, ready-to-hang artwork. You can find the rules HERE .

Those present at the meeting are asked to vote for their favorite by way of secret ballot.

In September, we have 2 artists of the month! The theme was monochromatic. Shown is John’s Acrylic painting, “Alpha Romeo 6C 2500 SS”, and Richards’s Graphite drawing, ” Tyler”.
