Hi everyone! The June meeting has been moved to July because B2 Gallery will be closed as they set up their new show! So stay tuned: an e-mail will be coming your way soon with more details. This coming month NETT is trying something BIG.
If you or an artist you know would like to receive e-mails for NETT, shoot an message to NETacomaTalent(at)gmail.com and you'll be kept up-to-date :)

Even if you're not an artist, please invite anyone you know or meet who are visual artists - you can help this group grow! Thank you for your support!

Hello all,

The April meeting went wonderfully. It started out slowly, but about an hour into the meeting the table was absolutely full of artists who were having a great time meeting like-minded people! Thank you all for being a part of it.

NETT plans to hold an art challenge once a month - to be presented to the group during the following meeting - in order to keep our creative juices flowing in between gatherings.
This month's challenge (to be presented at the May meeting), if you choose to accept:
- 2 sketches
- 1 final drawing/painting/etc. (better larger than small)
The assignment is to - in either a book store or library - go to your favorite genre (fantasy, history, etc.) and pull out a random book (that you've never read) and illustrate the 137th page. Do not read any more of the book so that the illustration will remain as out of content as possible. Instead of bringing in an artist's statement for your pieces, bring in a photocopy or transcribed copy of the page which you drew (and the name of the book). Remember, you don't have to complete the challenge, but those who do will receive publicity on our page and a firm hand-shake from our barista.

Our next meeting will be held on Friday evening, May 11th, and Saturday morning, May 12th. More information will come. Be sure to bring a portfolio or something like it to show off to the group. We'd love to see your work! Feel free to bring anything you would like to work on, or bring as many pieces as you want to be critiqued. Lydia brought in her painting from the last challenge with questions about content and composition and she got some amazing feedback that she put to good use. Once you have a group critique you will never be able to finish a piece without it, I promise.

Again, thank you all for being a part of NETT!

Our meeting on the 13th went great - the table was full a little while into the meeting and the comradery of the group was absolutely wonderful. Thank you all for the encouragement!
