DECEMBER POPULAR VOTE WINNERS
Three Cities Art Club’s January meeting will add to our
extensive (or not) knowledge about Art Critics and Surrealism
- the last of the so-called movements in 20th Century
Art. When people see paintings that are very different and
that puzzle them, they ask "Is that Art?" and then rely on the
Critics to explain it. But are the critics doing their job? What
qualifies them? Are the Artists doing their job? What is it? Are
art centers and museums doing what they are supposed to do
in the Art World? Who leads the art movements?
We'll see and hear some intricacies of surrealistic
artists such as Dali, Giacomettim, Pollock, Miró and others we
think we know and, if we wish, we can speculate on art in the
future.
Kay and Don Masini will present a PowerPoint program.
They tell us they've found a lot more interesting and fun
information for our enjoyment (and education) than they
expected.

PREMIER ART EXHIBITION
ARTWORK BY MEMBERS OF THREE CITIES ART CLUB
Enclosed is information regarding entering your art in Three Cities Art Club’s premier exhibition at the
inaugural opening of the Gallery at City Hall (Westland) that Allen Brooks has been working so hard to
get off the ground. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the art of our talented members,
providing yet another chance to exhibit and possibly sell your work.
The contract between Three Cities Art Club and the City of Westland is being signed this week, the
hardware has to be ordered and installed so we need to be ready to exhibit in February. Without
knowing how many pieces will be submitted, their sizes and the exact number that the space will
accommodate (approximately 50 depending on size), it was decided that, if required, the executive
board members will determine which pieces will be hung. This is an unusual move but there has to be a
way, on short notice, to put this show together. We don’t want to be in a position of not having
enough pieces but we will try to include at least 3 submitted pieces for each artist. Therefore, if you
want to participate, please submit your application and flat entry fee of $25 for up to 6 pieces as soon
as possible (your best works please ).
Previously exhibited art (anytime/anywhere) are permitted. You are required to submit pictures so if
you need them taken (we have those submitted from previous shows), please bring art to the January
meeting and Marilyn will take pictures for you.
Due to the overlap of exhibitions, those pieces accepted into the Gallery at City Hall won’t be available
for the Call to Artists exhibit at Westland Library in April. Questions, contact Marilyn at 313-231-3939.
