ATTENTION ALL PURPLE MEMBERS | |

What do YOU want to get out of YOUR art?
Hello, dear Purple Members!
The response to our request for you to join Jon and Ginger on a conference call for a live PAC event and to discuss various elements of the acrylic painting process has been disappointingly small. This has prompted us to reconsider the feasibility and wisdom of proceeding with this event.
We were genuinely excited about the prospect of coming together with our community to delve into the intricacies of acrylic painting. Jon and Ginger, our esteemed experts in this field, were eager to share their knowledge, insights, and techniques with you. We had envisioned an engaging and interactive session where you could ask questions, learn new skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the artistic process.
However, the limited response we've received has made us question whether this event is in the best interest of our community at this time. We understand that everyone has busy schedules and various commitments, but in order for this event to be valuable and worthwhile, we need active participation and engagement from our members.
We value your feedback and would greatly appreciate it if you could contact us to let us know whether you would like to join a call or if you have other ideas to allow us to help you in your journey.
As we weigh the pros and cons of moving forward with the live PAC event, your participation and input will be instrumental in our decision-making process. We want to create an event that not only meets your needs but also fosters a sense of community and learning among our members.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding, and we look forward to hearing from you to help us make an informed decision about the future of this event or whether something else would be more helpful.
