Also: In case you didn’t see our email, Lone Star Art Guild has rewritten its rules for art competitions, which we use as a guide for our own rules. If ratified by the art clubs, the rules will take effect next year. We urge you to take a look at the proposed changes, and bring your comments and suggestions to April’s meeting. You can also use this opportunity to re-familiarize yourself with the rules and categories. Check your email for a copy, or we can have a printout available for you to see at the meeting.
