Kristy Bishop, owner of the Kristy Bishop Studio, 147 Market Street, Saugerties has battled cancer since September 2018. The battle has been won with the help of scientists, doctors and nurses who have taken direction from God, but there is much healing to be done from the treatments currently. She is planning ahead by setting the date for her annual student art show which has involved at least 100 works of art in the past. A new art judge is chosen every year to award prizes in all age groups. Healthy competition is encouraged; yet each student may elect to not compete with his or her peers. In that case, a ribbon will be awarded for the best entry of artwork provided by that individual student. Each student receives positive and constructive critiques of their work by the judge and the instructor Kristy Bishop. Although, the instructor has no say in who wins awards. Hope to see you there on June 9, Sunday afternoon!
A presentation by Melanie Delgado, Woodstock School of Art Instructor, will be given at the Mar. 5, 2019 meeting. Guests are welcome to attend.
