Artist of the Month:

Tim Judge

I want my paintings to show warmth; in color, subject matter and composition.. I try to capture a sense of humanness or humanity (even in landscapes) that I see as each displays their perfections and flaws. Much of my work emanates a positivity or “glass is half full” attitude about life I think. Viewing one of my paintings should make you feel good.


Our quarterly meetings are planned to provide a time for gathering and strengthening our artist community. CAC members and guests are always welcome. The focus of our November 5th meeting is to provide information that will enable artists to strengthen their business as they increase sales.

Meeting will be held in large room of Wentzville Community Club which allows ample social distancing. A zoom link will be sent out as we get closer to the date for those who wish to attend virtually.

CAC Board News...

CAC Members and Guests, 

I hope this newsletter finds you and your family well. As we move into the end of the year and look forward to a brighter 2021, the CAC Board of Directors continues its support of local artists, while finding new ways to bring creative endeavors to the community. 

Throughout the year, new members have joined CAC as a way to connect with fellow artists. We hope that you encourage friends and family to become a part of our group. It is not necessary to be an artist with a paint brush or potter's wheel. Appreciation for creativity and interest in community are the only requirements.  

At this time of Thanksgiving, we thankfully have active members who are willing to contribute with their talents in planning, organizing and staffing our events. However, more help is needed in order to sustain our efforts and to expand our reach. Please consider how you can channel your enthusiasm for creativity by joining a planning committee, setting up and closing down an event, or welcoming guests who visit us. I think you will find what I have experienced to be a fulfilling, gratifying, and enjoyable endeavor.  Don't hesitate to reach out to me, or any member of the board about getting involved.  

May you have a creative and blessed Thanksgiving, 

Laura Birk
President
CAC Board of Directors
