MEETINGS

Mr. Lorenzo Chavez is game to host a paintout gathering Saturday January 27, 2018. We will meet at his studio starting at 9 a.m., located in "The Schoolhouse at Mainstreet" at 19650 Main Street, Parker, before heading out at 10 a.m. to paint at 17 Mile House Farm Park, 8181 S. Parker Rd., Centennial, CO 80016 ***There is free parking in the lot located behind The Schoolhouse.

Please remember the The Schoolhouse annex building which had the restrooms is currently under construction, so there are no restrooms or water available in the building at all. One can go to a local coffee shop or use the port a potty in the back that is for the construction workers.

As we did last year before heading out to paint, we will be sharing a bit of refreshment with each other in Lorenzo's studio at "The Schoolhouse at Mainstreet". Enter through the front entrance on Main Street , then head downstairs, the studio is on the left.

There will be several boxes of coffee from Starbucks type places, a donation jar set out to help defray the cost of coffee. There will be urn an of hot water as well as a variety teas.

We are asking members to bring a few breakfast pastries to share (this doesn't mean everyone must bring a goodie, if you have a favorite, bring it). PAAC artists are invited too again this year so we are expecting to have a good crowd!

"The Bluff Lake area supports native short-grass prairie bluffs surrounding a 9-acre lake adjacent to a stream corridor. Time and geologic processes formed the bluffs long ago when streams flowed from the mountains towards the plains and deposited layers of soil. Prior to pioneer settlement of the area, Native Americans lived on the plains, hunting bison and deer on the bluffs. They depended upon the land for survival and the resources the Bluff Lake area provided sustained them for many years."
