Art Club looks forward to many events

Artist Dodie Ballantine will teach a portraiture class at the Art Club Jan. 21 and 22.

Winter is the busiest season at the Wickenburg Art Club, and this winter is no exception.

In January, members and the public can hone their artistic skills in classes offered at the Art Club, while many members are busy preparing for the club’s biggest events of the year.

In February the Art Club hosts the 5th Annual Wickenburg Art Club Fine Art Festival and Sale, an Arizona Art Alliance event, from Feb. 7 through 15.

This overlaps the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Gold Rush Days (Feb. 13-15), during which the Wickenburg Art Club manages the Juried Art and Craft Show and Sale booths in Stone Park and the Fine Art Show and Sale in the Wickenburg Library. Learn more about these events in coming weeks.

For those interested in taking art classes, Wickenburg Art Club has two offerings in January. The first is Donnie Ross’ “Clay Creations” class where participants can discover interesting objects to make in clay.

The class will be taught on Jan. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Objects made at this class will be glazed and fired on Jan. 29. Tuition is only $40 for the two days for members and $60 for non-members. Class members do not need to use a potter’s wheel to create these objects. Clay will be provided.

In the second class, the very popular art instructor Dodie Ballantine returns to teach “Portraiture” in all mediums. Dodie has taught here in the past, helping artists create beautiful artwork.

The cost is $80 for two days, Jan. 21 and 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., $100 tuition for non-members. Hurry to sign up, as this class is nearly sold out.

Call Harold Nuoffer at 623-544-1833 for more information on these classes or show up at the Wickenburg Art Club, 188 S. Tegner on any Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to register for a class, or just to look around. New members are welcome!
