Art Club The PebbleCreek Art Club is one of several arts and craft clubs housed in the beautiful Creative Arts Center in PebbleCreek. Many newcomers say they chose PebbleCreek because of the CAC, which houses not only the art club but rooms for quilting, pottery, wood carving and glass, as well as beading, knitting, photography and scrapbooking. The Art Club has more than 200 members at all levels of expertise: absolute beginners, members who enjoy improving their painting and drawing skills, as well as several professional career artists. Meeting the needs of everyone is a challenge, and we work hard to present affordable classes in which all members can grow their skills. We hire professional artists from the greater Phoenix community to teach classes, and we have several talented members who are willing to teach introductory workshops and more advanced classes in various media. Our second challenge is to build a community of involved members who share more than their love of art. We have open studios almost every day, so artists don’t feel isolated at home, where they share tips and information in a relaxed environment. We have monthly critiques and sketching workshops and occasional field trips. We recognize achievement through a Challenge at our monthly meetings and awards for the Artist of the Month, season and year, A full calendar of social events, monthly lunches and mingles, pool parties and more, at which we include partners, extending friendship among member families.
We help artists sell their work by displaying them in the CAC gallery and through two art shows that are open to the public. Our next show is Friday, Nov. 13, from 2-6 p.m. in the Tuscany Ballroom. With live music, complementary wine and free admission, the show is always a sellout and a success for the 50 or more participating artists. Tickets can be reserved at www.pcartclubshows.com beginning Oct. 1. The second show is our Spring “Meet the Artist” show on March 11, where the artists answer visitor questions about their work and motivations. We look forward to meeting people from PebbleCreek and others outside the community. The Art Club is an all-volunteer club, and we depend on the hard work of our nine-member board and other volunteers who work on various committees. It takes a village! Our thanks go out to them.
