STUDENT EXHIBITION: By popular support, The Wildlife Experience Museum* has graciously invited WFA students
back to participate in a forth, September 2013 Artistic Spirit
Exhibition of student work. This is a tremendous opportunity for
students to gain exhibition experience, add to their resumes, and learn how
to prepare their framed work for exhibitions and for shipment.
*Students must be registered
in an ongoing class and have at least one (1) finished wildlife class
painting ready to exhibit in order to qualify for participation in the exhibition.
* I encourage all of you to take out The Wildlife Experience Museum
membership and experience for yourself their multitude of exceptional
programs. Periodically we will have instructive class tours, such as
during the "Birds in Art" and "Rocky Mountain Animal Artists" exhibitions at
the museum.
