“Contemplation,” by Mary Drastal. Watercolor.

Dear Members,

As Heartland Art Club continues gearing up and looking forward to the end of the pandemic, we recognize all the changes the last year has brought the art community. Our ways of creating, sharing, and exhibiting experienced disruption but artists have a way of turning challenges into opportunities. As an artist, perhaps you have used the past year to narrow your focus or work out issues in the studio. Maybe you have spent the last year experimenting and playing with new mediums and ideas. Like some artists, you might be looking for new inspiration to get back to making art.

We would like to celebrate the work you have accomplished over this past year! Heartland Art Club is grateful for your membership. Our first show of 2021 will be your opportunity to exhibit work from the past year in our beautiful space. We will have a call for art soon, so be thinking of the art you’d like to share! We have some creative ways to entice patrons to see your work in person as well as online.

We are busy adding new ways to spotlight our members on our website and at the gallery. Our membership directory on the website will be expanded to showcase Signature members’ artwork, and a members’ gallery room is being added to The Galleries at Heartland Art Club. All members will have the opportunity to display and sell their work in a professional gallery setting!

We also have a robust workshop and class schedule for 2021 and beyond. Please watch the website closely for continuing education opportunities with a variety of stellar artists. We look forward to a bright and creative future with you!

Thank you for being a member of Heartland Art Club!

Mary Drastal
President, Heartland Art Club
