April 26 Pilsen

I don't believe our group has ever gone to Pilsen before. Let's do it this Saturday. We'll meet at one of the coolest coffee shops in Chicago, the Cafe Jumping Bean at 1439 W. 18th Street. It's in the first floor of an old art studio. Wait until you see the north light windows of the second floor studio--to die for.

Here is the mapquest link for directions.

Time: 8:30 ish.

April 19, North Park Village Nature Center

This Saturday we're returning to the North Park Village Nature Center on the northwest side of Chicago: here is the home page for the park.

This is a place worth going back to. We have been there in summer and in winter, now is a chance to go in the spring. The park doesn't open until 10:00 a.m.--but that will give extra time for our coffee.

Place: North Park Village Nature Center, 5801 N. Pulaski
Time: 10:00 a.m.

April 12, Palette and Chisel

This Saturday we'll meet again outside the Palette and Chisel, 1012 N. Dearborn, in support of the annual PAPC show that will be going on inside. This has proven to be an effective draw of people to the show.

It is the Palette's open house this Saturday. There will be refreshments as well as a painting demo open to the public. At 2:00 I will be giving a short presentation about the amazing history of the Palette and Chisel, and you are all welcome to attend. Hope to see you there!

Meet at 8:30 a.m.

April 5th, Palette and Chisel

This Saturday we'll meet outside the Palette and Chisel, 1012 N. Dearborn, in support of the annual PAPC show that will be going on inside. This has proven to be an effective draw of people to the show, so we will be doing this both this Saturday and next.

Meet at 8:30.
