Take time in January to relax after the hectic holiday season. Then, mark your calendar for that first Thursday in February, and join us for the February 2, 2017 meeting of the Bethel Art Guild (BAG).
At the BAG meetings, we welcome all art lovers, artists, and want-to-be artists. Come once as our guest, and then we hope you’ll return as a member. A few benefits of membership are: the ability to show your work in several venues, opportunities to sell works, being part of the art community, networking with artists, participate in art shows and numerous chances to be educated in different areas of art by expects in that art form. The education comes from the artists who come to our meetings as speakers and demonstrators.
Our guest speaker in February is a true expert, a world class artist and we are honored to have her as our speaker. Linda Barnicott is famous for her works depicting Pittsburgh and its landmarks. Her painting, “Meet Me Under Kaufmann’s Clock,” led her to do a collection of Kennywood Park scenes and many other Pittsburgh scenes.
Additionally, Linda’s art has raised more than $750,000 for the American Cancer Society of Greater Pittsburgh by creating the painting used on their annual Christmas card for 17 years. She is also the exclusive artist for West Penn Allegheny outpatient facility in Peters Twp. Art has been proven to reduce stress, thus enhancing the chemotherapy treatments effectiveness. Her art is helping so many!
Join us at 12:30 p.m. on February 2 at the Bethel Park Community Center, 5151 Park Ave.
