Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, April 11th we will be painting at Old Bandon Golf Links behind the Face Rock Best Western Inn from 12 - 3 p.m.

They have a limited lunch menu and beverages available. Hope you can join us. It is spacious and well lit with plenty of room to paint either inside, or outdoors if weather allows.

Highway 101 to Seabird Lane, west to Beach Loop Drive turn south, then turn in the main entrance at the Best Western. Stay on the driveway between the buildings... you will see the clubhouse on a raised area in the back.

Hope to see you there. My phone is 541-297-6118.
Also hope to see you Friday night (5-7 p.m.) at Coos Art Museum for the opening of Expressions West and also our Plein Air of the South Coast show.

Then on Sunday (1 -3 p.m.) at Southern Coos Hospital for the "Bright & Bold" show. Wonderful art and music!
Thanks.
Ava
